The orchards are being emptied out everywhere in this long and fruitful valley. This one is ready for the pickers to descend on it. They'll be here soon.
Once these boxes are full they'll be loaded on trucks...
...and hauled to the big packers for global distribution.
But just across the road from home some are displayed for self-service sale.
So on a beautiful September evening at the lake when the fishing is slow...
...you can finish off your simple supper with a crisp, sweet apple fresh from the tree.
My favorite fruit. I love Gala apples best, with the Macoun a close second.
