This last Wednesday, Julie and I accompanied our friends David, Jana, and Breyton Badger north into the wilds of Westchester County on an apple picking expedition. Our destination was Outhouse Orchards (with a name like that it had to be fun). After grabbing our bag and apple picking poles, we began furiously acquiring apples galore. We had a fantastic time and now have more apples than we know what to do with. It was good to get out into the fresh (er) air north of the Bronx and to reconnect with my outdoor roots. If you're ever in New York in October, I highly recommend picking some apples at Outhouse Orchards; at the very least you'll get to make fun of the name! Enjoy the pics.
Julie told me not to post this picture, but I couldn't resist. Those apples can be dangerous!
The perfect apple for the perfect lady!
And here we are with our bag of hard-earned apples. We only picked half of these; the Badgers picked the other half.
