We decided that we should head out to our favourite apple orchard as early as possible this year given the warm temperatures followed by the late frost. Luckily, “our” orchard managed to save a number of varieties which flowered later. The remaining apples are delicious and crisp.

Katrine loves to go picking almost as much as she loves eating fresh from the tree apples (they have a more crunchy texture). After many years she knows how to spot good apples which are on the small size (aka perfect for lunchs in that they will actually get eaten instead of thrown in the trash). Elspeth started to bounce in her car seat as we pulled in saying “pick apples, pick apples”. This year she not only ate apples but also picked a few. It is nice that she is enjoying this family tradition. I was a bit disappointed that the Macs are not yet ready but I had fun watching the girls, dreaming about apple recipes yet to be made and soaking up the sunshine. Glenn liked the fresh apple fritters and playing with the girls on the piles of hay bales. Overall, a high point of the summer.
Excellent Day, pleasant Blog, i’ll recommend! We have bookmarked for future reference! Greetings
