Apple-alooza

I am trying to get as much out of my first fall in New England - it's GORgeous! So, this weekend, I hit the road to pick apples with our church at Red Apple Farm about 60 miles west of Boston.

You could pick apples, pumpkins, corn, and potatoes - and they had a hay ride around the farm, homemade BBQ, farm animals, walking trails, and every kind of apple-y food you can imagine I had the mulled cider and a hot apple cider donut. Yummm!

Here are a few pictures from this beautiful road trip. Makes you kind of want to come visit us now, doesn't it? =)

























These apples are known as "Arkansas Black." The skins are such a deep shade of reddish purple; they almost look like plums clustered together.





Check out that tree behind my right shoulder - it's almost the same hot pink color as my sweater! Awesome.
