Apple picking

For the last few years we have been able to glean apples from an orchard near Othello that is owned by a friend of our friend Larry.  As these things go, each year we pick a few more, then a few more, then a few more until we are pretty much out of control.  This year we hit the an all time "out of control" mark!

This is one my favorite days of the entire year.  And the reason that we let things get out of control is that we all have so much fun picking and visiting and then processing apples for ourselves and sharing with neighbors and friends.

Sadly, there is so much food that goes to waste in our country.  However, our little crew is making sure that we take care of at least a tiny bit of that with our fall apple pick.
