the season’s first apples are sweet

our first season of apples are here!
our first season of apples are here!

I don’t know if the apples are sweeter because of the ‘anticipation’… or, if it was because of the unusually sharp cold snap earlier this year? Fortunately for family unity , the crop looks magnificent and the perennial battle between making apple sauce and apple pies is muted under the avalanche of apples!

So after a couple of huge batches of apple sauce sitting in one of our three freezers, Laura has graciously consented to stand back while I make, strudels, apple flaps, cobblers and… yes… apple pies!

PS. a little drama is over, after several months of looking , Laura found my favorite pair of prescription glasses in the lost & found drawer at HOME DEPOT. They’re fairly unusual in type and prescription… so,  Laura is my hero. 🙂
