An Apple a Day

My hubby and Charlie had tickets to the Nationals game. My best friend's husband was out of town leaving her to need something to do to entertain her kiddos. And my cousin had a morning horse riding lesson at a barn close to my home and wanted to hang out afterwards.

All of these things came together for a really amazing day at Stribling Orchard in Markum, Virginia with my best friend, her kiddos, my cousin and my little squeeze, Henry.

I had never been apple picking before! It seemed like the most wonderful thing to do on a late and perfect September Sunday.

I wish I could shut up about how much I love Virginia -- but I just don't think I can. Driving just 30 miles west to reach the orchard was as beautiful a drive as it could be with mountains reaching up into the brilliant blue sky. The leaves are still very green but you can see some color trying to find its way onto the leaves.

    My grad school professor was Staci Stribling! She had so many neat stories about the work of an orchard! I love that place!

    Gorgeous. I want to know what presets you are using and I also really want to pick apples. So pretty!

    Thanks, Rach! I have so many presets it's really disgusting. You have fonts. I have presets! :) But I'm also in WAY over my head trying to learn PS... I'm sure I'll be acquiring an arsenal of "actions" soon!
