Fuzzy and I picked apples today at the orchard across the road from PineTop. It's been an incredible year for fruit, so our neighbors gave us free rein to pick as many as we could stand. We bought one of those little wire fruit picker baskets that fit on the end of a tent pole and picked about 20 lbs. in about 20 minutes.So now what the hell am I going to do with 20 lbs. of apples? Applesauce, I guess. And I'll try canning some apple pie filling. Apple Jack? Maybe?
Regardless of what becomes of the apples, it was a day well spent, and a beautiful one at that.

Gladey ! so good to see you here :)
I like those fruit pickers. Have used them, haven't got one at present. We stored five bushels of apples this year. Some didn't really keep but we find those in time to give them to the chickens, so, yep, it all works out!
