an apple a day


On Sunday, we ventured out to Apple Country Orchards. Mom, Joyce and I had been there before when we first moved to Lubbock, but this was Jon's maiden voyage. We were slightly disappointed to find only 3 varieties left and most of those were rotting on the ground. We managed to pick about a half a bucketful and made sure to pick up a bag of pretty polished ones in the gift shop. I was on a mission to make homemade applesauce just in case I felt the urge to eventually make homemade baby food. It wasn't too hard although I wasn't the one in charge of peeling and cutting the apples. The finished product tastes much better than store bought varieties so maybe this is the start of something.
