Frances in the Orchard

Alas, blueberry season is over, but beautiful New England offers up a new bounty:


Last Sunday, we took Frances apple picking for the first time at Honey Pot Hill Orchard in Stow, MA.  It was ridiculously hot and crowded at the orchard, but Frances didn't mind.  She thought the ladders were great playthings.


We eventually enticed her away from the ladder and into the actual trees.  


There were apples everywhere.  Frances was quite pleased with these two she found on the ground.


With some coaxing, she picked a few off the trees, not the ground.


The picking took about five minutes.  And then it was back to the ladders.


Very successful day.  Frances and I have been munching on apples all day long and Mark was very receptive to the apple pie we made with our pickings.
