she has been taking me to this orchard for 2o some odd years.before, there were apples, helicopter rides, apple pie, caramel apples, hot apple cider, apple crisp, candy, chaos, hikes, horse rides, people laughing, people running, people picking apples and eating them too.
did i mention lots of people? and apples?
now, the place is nearly empty.
the trees, ripe with fruit, stand in a whole lot of silence.
lots of apples, few people.
end of another era.
thank goodness sweet autumn is just beginning.
looking forward to things yet to come...
