Last Friday my good buddy Grace and I met halfway (her from the Milwaukee area and me from Chicago) at the Apple Holler in Wisconsin. The Apple Holler is a restaurant, apple orchard, petting zoo, corn maze...basically, everything that is fall in the Midwest. We ate a delicious lunch and then went apple pickin'.
We picked tart and sweet Cortland apples, mild Macoun apples, and gorgeous Asian pears.
It was a beautiful day with warm sun...that seemed to get warmer as the picking went on.
Grace found a lovely, interesting mushroom.
We came home with quite a bounty....lots of delicious fruit. I thought I would make apple and pear butter. But I just can't help eating them just as they are.

Wonderful pictures! I keep passing Apple Holler on our way down to Chi-town: my friend Kathy told me about it one time. Maybe I'll have to do a halfway meeting of my own.
We have finally updated our blog - your turn =-)
Hey - is this really still your last post? I am starting to think I bookmarked this post or something :) Looking forward to seeing you guys next weekend!
