How do you like them apples?

If you fancied a look at your thermometer in the Midwest on Saturday, it would have read as 90+ degrees for most of the day. Yet, as a Midwesterner, you realized that there are only so many weekends left for one of the best fall traditions - a trip to the apple orchard - before the cream of the crop literally get picked over.

We did what anyone in their right mind would do - we hopped in the car, took a drive to the orchard, and picked ourselves some apples. (It's a good thing I remembered not to buy any at the store this week!)

So, was it hot? H*** yes.
Did it feel like fall? H*** no...even with the apple cinnamon donuts and the festive fall decor.
Did we have a good time? Absolutely.

How do you like them apples?

Overcast with a touch of fall temps: 60s - not too hot, not too cold...(all you need is a light jacket...)

It was a perfect day for apple picking!

With apples and fresh donuts in hand, we made our way back to the city, and I now find myself staring at my computer screen, wishing these grad school readings and papers would take care of themselves. Since I know they won't, I have a lot to do before Mass tonight.

Hope you've been enjoying your Sunday!
