When we went apple picking last year, it was a beautiful day, we stayed at the orchard all day, had lunch there, sat on the mountain and just enjoyed the view. This year not so much. It was indeed a beautiful day- not a cloud in the sky. However....there were about 40 mile per hour wind gusts!!
We quickly got some hot apple cider and warm apple donuts before attempting to pick apples.
Thankfully once we got into the trees the wind was blocked. The orchards had been hit hard by hail so the apples, while perfectly good and delicious, looked a bit strange with bumps all over them. We picked some granny smith and golden delicious. The other apples were slim pickins so we moved on. The only thing I wanted from our trip was some of their caramel apples cookies. they weren't making them that day. Seriously???
