Apple Picking

This past weekend we went up to Bear Valley to visit my Mom.


We went apple picking at a local farm. I had never been apple picking before and when we entered the "Apple Store" there was a barrel filled with plastic bags and a sign that read, "Pick Your Own Apples" so we grabbed the plastic bags and started out the door but I got confused and wasn't sure exactly what to do, so I stopped the worker in the store and asked her how we go about picking our apples and she looked at me like I was crazy and said, "You go outside to the orchards and pick the apples you want." Hmmm...I thought there was more to it, like certain rules you had to abide by, but I guess not.


The fruits of our labor. Too bad I don't really care for apples. They have just been sitting in our fridge all week.

Fall Tradition



Every year since childhood, my family would visit Lombardi's Ranch in October. It signified the start of Fall and the holiday season. I love to walk through the scarecrow alley, select my pumpkin and purchase their sweet corn and fresh tomatoes.
