Is anyone sick of apples yet?



Our family went to the fruit orchard at Washington State University last Saturday. We picked golden delicious apples for 60 cents a pound! What a steal! It's a good thing they were cheap because we kept trying to leave and one kid would say
" wait! Just a couple more!"
Then,as expected, the whole dang brood of kids would run back to the trees and pick 'just a couple more'.
Needless to say, we ended up with lots of apples. I made pie, of course, and canned a bunch of pie filling-great for apple crisp, pie, ice cream topping...etc.
I still have a box and a half left, so maybe today I will make applesauce. Yummy!

I love apple orchards.



I'm throwing in another picture of my smilin' babe. He is such a happy little guy. He laughs all the time. He danced last night and he thought it was the funniest thing he ever did!

Bishop's Orchards in Garfield sells goldens for 25 cents a pound plus you can press your own cider for $4 a gallon! Just something for you to think about for next year. Be glad to show you the way!
