Maybe it's the slight chill to the mornings or that the trees have just started to turn, but it seems like fall is here. And nothing welcomes autumn as much as picking apples and enjoying the beautiful trees. So Nathan and I made the trip out to Styer Orchards to pick some apples. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they still had peaches this late. Nathan and I loved wandering through the orchards and picking our peaches and apples. Nathan even helped pick a few of each.
The orchards made me a little homesick. I grew up with 8 fruit trees in my yard that our family would harvest and spend the fall canning together. I continued the tradition by canning some of our goodies into homemade applesauce and canned peaches.
Our trip to the orchards did make me very excited for fall. There are spectacular colors on the trees to enjoy, pumpkins to pick, and one little boy to play in the leaves with. It's going to be a great autumn.
