We have two apple trees in our yard. They are both golden delicious and they really do create delicious apples. The problem most years and especially this year is that there are way too many apples for me to do anything with. This year was a bumper crop, we actually have had several branches break from the weight of the apples. Saturday we set out to pick the apples and rake up the apples on the ground.
Jacob loved being at the very top of the tree, of course he didn’t have anything way up there with him to put the apples in .
Jonah loved throwing apples to Marley.
(O.K. this picture is from earlier in the summer, but this is what Jonah does every day when Marley comes on vacation to our house)
We picked so many apples and then raked up enough to fill the garbage can 3/4 of the way full.
Yesterday I spent ALL day making applesauce. For some reason it was extremely time consuming this year, last year it was no big deal.
So here is the end result of my canning experiences this fall. I am done no matter how many thousands of apples are still on my trees!
Ha that looks very Betty Crockerish.

Looks good. Sorry I won't be around or I would come take a few apples off of you!
I am impressed! You have been a busy girl. You need to give me an applesauce canning lesson.
So how come you keep telling me how many apples you have, yet I keep having to buy them at the store?????!!!???
