I mentioned in an earlier blog that some friends from our church invited us to join them for Thanksgiving Dinner. Debbie wanted to take an apple pie (sorry, all the tools needed for homebaked pie are already packed). So we headed out to the Apple Orchard one last time. Even in early winter it's a very good place to visit. It's interesting that they leave apples on the trees until needed for sales or baking right up until the really hard freezes come.
Everytime we go out to the apple orchard they have different varieties of apples available, depending on which ones are ripening at the time. That makes it unique each time. The last trip out we got a supply of cortland apples; before that it was Honeycrisp and cortlands. This time we got the Honey Gold apples. Mmmmmmmm! They're great -- and so fresh, coming right off the trees. So much better than the apples in the grocery stores -- who knows how long they have been on the truck.
In Texas we'll switch back to fresh oranges -- I don't think there are any apple orchards in Texas -- but we'll sure find out.

That apple tree reminds me of the persimmon tree at Becky's, full of fruit, plus a monkey named Rebecca, the tree climber.
