Carrying in NC apple orchard

[JAT40]

Real nice looking helpers you got working the orchard with you.

Is it me or do the apples seem to be a bit under sized?

How many bushels did you pick? Whats the plan, hard cider?

And this week will be spent making apple pie, apple butter, candied apples, caramel apples, and apple cake with maple caramel glaze.


And what was your street address again???!!!

[rstickle]

Don't forget about that good ol' apple butter!!

Definitely OWB.

Apple butter.... Yum!!

Thanks for the reminder Bunny, our trees are loaded and ready to be picked.

It's gonna be an apple pie fall. Yum!

I tried that last week, and all these small children looked very confused...and then they tried to mug me, screaming about chocolate eggs. What gives?

hehe. That sounds like you skipped Winter and went straight to spring!

Now Bunny, do as Gunny would and tenderize them apples with yer 9.

Wasn't that a .50 Gunny used, or was it a .308?

Save me some apples. The family already ate everything we put up last year.

Come on by! I'm in charge of "refreshments" for our NRA First Steps Pistol classes on Saturday, so I'll be bringing some appliciousness to the classroom. (It'll be my 1st class as an instructor, I'm hoping to make a good impression.)

JAT40 -- EVERYTHING looks undersized when there's a Great Dane and a Spanish Mastiff there for comparison. I think GSDs look "fun sized" now. It's all in the perspective, maybe? Next trip, I'll grab my sister's chihuahua...the apples will look gargantuan! lol

It's Autumn or Fall -- methodologically!

Meteorological Seasons are defined like this:

Winter: December, January, February

Spring: March, April, May

Summer: June, July, August

Fall: September, October, November

See: National Weather Service Forecast Office - Philadelphia/Mount Holly - NOAA Weather Radio FAQ

near the bottom of the FAQs

What are the meteorological seasons, and how do they differ from “regular” winter, spring, summer, or autumn?



The astronomical seasons that people are most familiar with begin and end on the solstices and equinoxes (which normally occur around Mar 21, June 21, Sept 22, and Dec 22). But, since the dates of the solstices and equinoxes vary slightly from year to year (because the earth takes about 365 1/4 days to go around the sun), meteorologists use whole months to define the “meteorological” seasons. The three normally coldest months in the Northern Hemisphere are December, January, and February, and are called “meteorological winter”. The three normally warmest months are June, July, and August, and are called “meteorological summer”. “Meteorological spring” includes the months of March, April, and May, and “meteorological autumn” includes the months of September, October, and November.

Glad to hear you had a successful apple trip. I am waiting on picking my apples in my front yard until our first freeze. They get SO sweet after!!

But, at little sour apple may be good for a pie or two!!!

I am getting hungry at 12:30 in the AM!

Are you kidding, that's the only reason he still goes! Apparently it's very entertaining to see Mom fall on her cotton tail. Last time, I was standing UNDER the tree (brushing myself off from the fall) and my brother shakes a limb -- a ton of apples fell on my head. I thought the two of them were going to hemorrhage, they laughed so hard.

This oughtta be interesting.

I have two questions.
Did they have the last laugh?
If so....WHY??

Yes.
My parents were there at the time (couldn't kill my brother) and Bunny Jr was only about 4 years old, heavily influenced by his uncle :)

Now I'm hungry.

Well after wearing your sweatshirt concealment garment in the sunny 83 degree weather you had today in the Charlotte area you probally dropped a few pounds so you should have plenty of room for all those goodies you are going to make this week.

I'm still waiting for the fell-out-of-the-tree story.

So you "stayed mostly on the ground" but where is the "and now for the rest of the story."
