Ripe for the Pickin'

We took a wee road trip up to farm country yesterday in the great state of Georgia.  Just 1.5 hours north of Atlanta is Ellijay - "home of the Georgia Apple Festival"... and orchards galore. October is apple picking time in these parts, and that's exactly what we spent the day doing.

Harvest time. These 2 are coming home with me.

She mutters to herself: "reach, rrrreach, rrrrrrrrreach" as she wills that apple into her hand. So darn cute.

Ahh, much easier from this height.

Sorting through our bag of goods.

Voulez-vous des pommes?

Pies to come.

P.S. - Happy Canadian Thanksgiving to all my fellow Canadians today.  Have a little turkey and gravy for me, k?

P.P.S. - The Oakhurst Festival on Saturday was grrrrreat!  We thought we were supposed to have scattered thunderstorms all day, but we dodged the bad weather, and had nothing but sun and fun.  So many friends stopped by to say hello, which I love, so thank you so much (Jamie, Vyviane, Amy, Merrill, Sonia, Delias, Cat, et al. - hope I didn't forget anyone)

My little Pixie in her fairy wings

My daughter wasn't the only one in fairy wings on Saturday.  He's showing me the rhinstones on his fishnets. I love it!  :)
