Spent a lovely afternoon last Sunday picking apples at Outhouse Orchards in North Salem, NY. McIntosh and Cortland (a variety of McIntosh) trees were at perfect ripeness and laden with fruit. Hope that the other apple pickers knew that the vines climbing all over the trees were poison ivy (see below). [NOTE: You can get some delicious apple cider donuts and pumpkin cheesecake here, too. Great spot to spend a Fall day].
