Rusti Pickin'

Today is October 10,2010 and the soothsayers are saying it is to be a perfect day.  It certainly was close to it for me.  Leah and I left around noon and headed south to the apple orchard in Seville that hosts a semi festival each October for picking your own apples, fresh pressed cider and popcorn.  There was a nice invitation to the plein aire paiinters to come and set up the easle and enjoy the day. This orchard is family owned and operated orchard featuring homegrown peaches, apples, cider.. Pick your own apples and pumpkins on the weekends in October  Leah helped me set up and then headed for the deep silent orchard to sketch and to pick some of the varieties.  She did return with too many to really carry, a beautiful canvas, and was tired and happy.,  We came home with a bushel + of an assortment of apples, a gallon of the fresh pressed cider and wonderful memories.

I did not include pictures of Leah.  I have learned my lesson from several people.  So I will not be using very many pictures of others in the blog.  I will print my pictures and get permissions from others.  So the pictures I have included are of  me .   Wish each of you could have been with us.

With a little luck you will get some apples and apple butter.... our next poject.... at Thanksgiving. 

It was a wonderful day!
