into the orchard

we ventured into the apple orchard
picked some of the best cortland's ever!
only no one really likes them except me -
husb. says they are sour, the kids loved the first dozen they ate, but i guess they have had enough.
oh well,more for me!
they are so scrump, snappy, crisp. i am not using them for cooking. no. these are for fresh eating only.











here's my little guy telling me how he loves the leaf on this apple. he really loved it, look at his face. so seriously sweet.
my girl was more business like in her picking.
"only the red ones" she kept saying.
yum, she did pick some of the reddest, most plump apples.



this is what i needed.
