This morning started earlier than usual for me. I couldn't sleep, but only because I had this energy that made me want to get up and be out in the world instead of lying in bed. So, I decided to take a stroll through the orchard and do a little apple picking this morning.
I've been looking forward to apple picking for quite some time and actually bought this red gingham dress from ChicWish specifically with my time at the orchard in mind and I'm glad I did.
I like to be comfortable when I am here, but no matter where I am, I like to be fashionable too and this dress does both.
I think I may have to do this every week while the apples last. The trees are so full of ripe, juicy apples, that the branches are weighed down to the ground and the ground is covered in windfall apples.
I always leave some for the birds and the deer and the raccoons, but I don't like for things to go to waste so the windfalls will become applesauce while the crunchy apples from the tree will be sliced up for lunches and after-school snacks or put into tarts and pies. With the abundance there will also be plenty of apples to dry.
My daughters and I love to snack on dried apple slices all through the winter...not that they ever make it through the whole winter, but we snack on them daily with home roasted and salted pecans.
