Apple picking season has arrived! I look forward to this every year and can't wait until the trees are more mature and we get baskets and baskets heaping full of apples. We often go for walks around the orchard and the kids will pick an apple or two from their favorite tree and munch it while we walk. This year we didn't get any apples from our favorite apple/crab tree, but the Sunnybrook apples were sure enjoyed while we were picking!
This year we got to try out Grampa's new picking aprons. They were sure handy! Oliver wore Gramma's apron and climbed to the top of the ladder to pick. Of course Miss Lou had to join him near the top. She's fearless!
I lost track of how many apples she ate! When they were finished, they threw the cores to the chickens (or to Sonny) to enjoy.
These are memories that I love creating! I feel so blessed to work along side my parents and I am grateful that my children will have these memories of working in the orchard with their Grampa who planted and tended to these trees with love and care each year.
