It's that time of year in Georgia - the apple harvest is in. We were planning to go to the orchard later this month, but when a beautiful and un-seasonally cool weekend came our way we made impromptu plans with the Hess family to start the apple picking early. This year we tried an orchard in Blue Ridge. It was great fun for the kids. We rode a tractor pull into the orchard (much to Marian's dismay). Once there we roamed the trees gathering as many as we could cram into our bags. I was surprised that so many different varieties were ready for harvest so early, but the orchard crew said that it was due to the unusually hot summer. After picking time, we perused the gift shop and snacked on fried pies and apple cider (YUMMY). A really wonderful time!
