But I never tire of it or take it for granted. I agree--you can smell the fruit in the air! When we went to our lake club last week, I noticed that the farm market that borders the lake property had honeycrisps ripe and ready to be picked. That is our new favorite apple variety.

An unsolicited tip: MacAbee's roadside stand right alongside I-26 in Hendersonville (Frontage Rd.) often have bags of seconds very inexpensively. I like to get my applesauce apples there every year either when we go to the mountains or my sister's family makes their yearly pilgrimage!Mary Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03129793790973176351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-63378881017445961672011-09-06T09:46:38.619-04:002011-09-06T09:46:38.619-04:00What a fun day for your littles and you.

I'm sure the fact that is was cool enough to wear jackets also helped set the mood : )<br />To bad about Samuel's glasses-does he tend to take his glasses off one handed? If so, try to have him use both hands, one handed will loosen the screw up in no time. (my little guy has that same navy polo!)<br />Looking forward to hearing about the grapes!Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01363843039604440511noreply@blogger.com
