Our neighbors went apple picking and brought some back for us. I love apples.

We attempted to do some apple picking this past weekend in North Georgia, a town call Elijay. Could not even get near the town. Cars backed up forever. Of course I did pick the worst weekend to go.

I don’t even remember what part of October it was. I just remember when my daughter was in little school it was a big deal. Bus loads of school buses of city kids were taken up to the Catskills for apple picking. It was during the week. I always wondered how they even reached the apples because the trees weren’t low. I’m sure there was some climbing involved😊
