Woohoo! Apples and cider, and all sorts of fall yummies

Don't mind Lady's Human and I if we're a little - hmm, how to put this ... antsy? Skeptical?

Grandpa S. had a small orchard, and when everything ripened, we'd go over to pick fruit. It was not meant to be "fun," it was meant to
A. Get the job done
B. Not get the fruit bruised
C. Do not eat while you are picking
D. Do not risk breaking branches by climbing wrong
E. And NO horsing around ....

One might have gotten poked with a sturdy cane for dawdling, and by the way, do not freak out at the bees, either. And leave the grapes alone ...
and that kitten is not to be picked up - his feral mother is right behind that bush ...

Grandpa loved us, sure, but harvest time was serious business!

Riachard, I'd invite you here to jump it the leaves, as it is that time of year, but I don't think you'd enjoy it much, as it has been raining off and on for a couple days. Plenty of leaves on the ground, but they are wet.
