This morning I had a piece of apple pie for breakfast (thanks mom) along with a warm cup of apple cider! It was delicious.
The weather made it the perfect day for apple picking. The dolgo crab apple tree smelled deliciously ripe and the sunshine felt warm on our faces. Grampa brought the quad trailer up to give Lily and Sawyer the extra height they needed to help us pick. When they got tired they took turns jumping off the trailer in their bare feet and pretended to drive the quad through mud puddles.
My new Mac tree only gave us four apples this year, two of which remained in nearly perfect condition. They are huge and delicious and I can't wait for the tree to mature!
We also picked the three remaining Prairie Magic apples to enjoy (the birds and bugs enjoyed the rest). I'm looking forward to more pies and apple jelly!
