Last Friday I was out at some rummages. On my way out of a subdivision I came across a sign in someone's front yard that said "FREE APPLES. U PICK". So, Eliza and I knocked on the door and the fellow said they'd picked all they wanted and would love for others to come get the rest! So we did. We filled a sack and headed home--we loved it.
I just knew the other kids would want in on the apple-picking. So, Saturday morning while Daniel was at a meeting we went out again. We filled four bags! Andrew and Abby LOVED this experience. Especially when climbing the tree came into the picture. They HAD to show Dad.
So...
We went back for the THIRD time after Andrew's football game that afternoon. We filled two more bags really full. Again, the kids loved it. They really want to have their own apple trees now. Andrew was reminiscing about Grandma and Grandpa Koski's lemon and citrus trees too.
Needless to say, we are sharing our apples with many, making apple crisp, and will try our hands at apple cider!
So, thank you, kind neighbor, for giving my family joy times three through your apple tree!
Sometimes you have to yank those things!
