One of our favorite autumn rituals
is apple picking at the Giese Farm.
First we walk through their backyard to the orchard
Then everone gets to work (or tasting)
Some pickers are very young
Some are not so young
Some are related to me
Some work hard
Some not so hard
When the work is finished load the truck and hike on back
Next we snack on some great treats
and play in the yard
Warm up with some chili
Chat with friends, old and new
And finally thank our gracious hosts
This year there were 63 "pickers" - amazing!

Always such a fun event! Nothing tastes better than an apple picked right off the tree!
