Apples!

One of the great things about living here in the upstate region of New York is our agriculture.    We don't have many mega-farms up here; most of them are small operations.  Love Apple Orchard in Ghent is one of those places.  They have many different varieties of apples, and they have tractor drawn hay rides through the orchard as well as a petting area where one can pet and feed the goats.  But those apples!

This year, the conditions were good for the orchards in the Hudson Valley - the trees were loaded with beautiful, wonderful apples.  The good thing about picking apples is that you can choose the day (within reason) to go, and we chose the most marvelous October day I can remember in a long, long time.  The sun was shining, the birds were singing and it was just a perfect day to take the short drive and walk through the apple trees for a couple of hours.
