Picking Apples in Colorado

As most of you know, I go to Colorado twice a year to visit my family on the ranch.
This year I got there just in time for the first frost.
That means apple pick'en time.

I was more then happy to be involved in this task!!


My sister Janet, hard at work!!

The hornets decided this would be a good place
to build a home.



Part of the harvest.
The snow on the mountain in the background
came the night before.



Yes, that is Dad up in the tree.
He is going to be 88 next month but he
doesn't let that stop him.


Most of these apples are off of one tree.
They are Organic Heirloom Macintosh.

Mom cookin' some up to make applesauce.
She is the pro!!
