Today was the official last day of summer, meaning that tomorrow is the first official day of fall. And in the spirit of fall, and in celebrating a friend’s birthday, a group of us had brunch and went apple picking today. I guess apple picking is more a New England thing than it is something that happens anywhere else, and it’s definitely an activity that I associate with fall. Before coming to college my family went apple picking every year and I got to go with them. It was a big tradition where we went apple picking, sometimes got pumpkins and gourds, and took pictures with all the cutouts that were there. So going apple picking today was a real treat.
Today we got to pick apples and peaches, and we also got apple cider, maple candy and cider doughnuts. We took pictures with cutouts and said hi to the horses that live at the orchard. And we resolved to go back next month to look at pumpkins. The weather was really gorgeous and we had a lot of fun. Apple picking is something I haven’t really done in a few years, and this was a great way to both end summer and kick off fall.
What are your favorite fall activities? You already know one of mine.
