The cold front that brought a small tornado to Blue Hill and Castine earlier in the week ushered in some very Fall-like weather by late in the day Friday. It only seemed appropriate that we gather apples at one of our favorite local orchards, Merrill's Orchard just north of Ellsworth on Sunday.
Sig sampled every apple variety he could get his hands on, which was basically any apple on the ground. I think a few knobs of protein a.k.a. 'slugs' made their way through the parental filters. Henning was particularly pleased by pulling Sig in the wagon into the pits they leave behind when they remove trees from the orchard. Laura made a fine apple crisp with the 'aid' of Henning and Sig while I worked at the house removing sheetrock and obsessing over things.
Kim & Patrick will join us for the holiday weekend beginning Friday. Can't wait to see my little baby sister with a belly like mine.
