Day: September 8, 2012

I saw two trees today whose leaves had begun to change colors, signaling to me that autumn is on its way.  That means Saturday I will be  packing up the family and heading to our favorite apple orchard to pick a bushel of apples.  Here are the top reasons to make this an annual tradition: 1.     It’s exciting to research and plan, and an adventure to get there. 2.     Apple cider donuts and fresh apple cider for breakfast. 3.     Free tastings out in the orchard. 4.     Kids learn a lot about apples…when an apple is ready to pick, how to find apples low and high on the trees, how different apples taste and look, and how heavy carrying a bag
