Apples 2005

During our second fall in Madison, Jess and I went apple picking for the first time. We had a lot of fun and made everything apple we could think of. We were not able to go last year since we were moving during the apple picking season, but this year we made it a point to go. I spend a few hours one day looking for an apple farm before I came across the Happy Apple Farm just outside Colorado Spring. We took Loki and FeBe and they had a blast. It was a lot of fun for us too but I have to say there were some differences between CO and WI apple picking.

1st, apples are picked sooner in CO than in WI. In WI we went in October and there was some time left in the season. This time, I think we should have gone earlier in September.

2nd, the apples in CO, or at least where we went, were a lot smaller. I would call them bite sized.

We might try to make apple dishes out of them, but we might just eat these and buy some apples form the store.
