Fall Apple Picking

Fall apple picking…I wrote that and then thought –is there really any other kind of apple picking? It is always in the fall.

D’oh. I am in trouble here.

I guess I am just struggling with how fast the season came upon us and how fast it is flying by.  I keep thinking it is early September and then I look at the calendar and go hmmmm..guess I missed a few weeks there! How is it mid-October and we haven’t taken any of our usual walks in the woods? Goodness- we haven’t even been to Ferry Beach State Park since spring! How is this possible?  I can’t decide if I am becoming a lame parent or if we really are just that busy with other stuff.

Where is this time going? I am certainly not spending it blogging these days either. :)

I digress…

Back to the apple picking pictures….from September. We went to our usual spot..Doles in Limington. I do love it there- love the views and the choices of things to pick. We went with apples and plums. We were going to do raspberries too but we had just bought some the day before. We (Erik and I) were not in-jive with this apple picking adventure…we just didn’t gel. It happens with us sometimes. We just kind of wandered around at first trying to figure out what apples we wanted and where they were. We opted with the hayride first to see where the apples we want were…

After all the healthy apple picking, we engaged in another fun activity. Eating the homemade whoopie pies!

Yum-o
