Apple Picking Sponsored by: Robert James Liguori 10/04/2023
On a cool, crisp mid-October morning, the sweetness of apples flavors the air. And a chevron of geese honk their warning that Winter is coming; stay if you dare. I loved picking apples, but I was small and only picked those I could reach by hand. I didn't like using ladders; after all, the orchard was my childhood wonderland. Dad had a burlap bag rigged to my back that allowed both of my hands to be free. I'd put as many apples in my sack as possible, wobbling from tree to tree. I was told that apples were nutritious, and yet, they're oh-so-sweet and delicious.
