Apple Picking Day

Today we made our annual trek to an apple orchard. Although we do go out into the orchard and pick our own apples, we really go to be out in the fall weather, and to eat the baked goods they have there. Except...

Unfortunately, the apple orchard we've been going to, Minnesota Harvest out in Jordan, is on its last legs. It's been sold, and the building that used to have the delicious bakery has been pretty much gutted, and the horses are no longer outside (although they still had pony rides, which we don't typically do anyway) and there were no armies of pumpkins to choose from. At least we could still pick apples, which we did, and it was still a pleasant day. But man, was I ever looking forward to some apple baked something-or-other slathered with warm caramel and ice cream.

Ah, well - next year we shall find a new place to go.
