August is one of my favorite months. Here in Minnesota, the heat and humidity begin to give way to drier, more comfortable weather with cooling breezes. My thoughts begin to turn to fall, especially when our apples begin to ripen! We have two large trees, different varieties, one of which begins to ripen much earlier than the other. Once the apples begin to turn red, I need to begin picking them or they will just end up falling off the tree. Both trees are loaded this year, and have nice looking apples, too...especially since we don't spray or anything. Today, I picked the first of the crop!
Juicy, sweet-tart...
Doesn't this just make you think of fall, too? I think I see an apple cobbler in my future...
I am joining Debra over at Common Ground for Be Inspired
Until next time...
Beautiful apples and post.
ReplyDeleteYUM ! Local apples are so good ! :)
ReplyDeleteOh- Those look SOOOOO good, Linda. Happy cobblering! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThose look amazing, and they're organic to boot...perfect! I will have to send you my recipe for apple cake, or you could just bake me a pie and send it my way! ;)

ReplyDeleteThis is the time of year where the temps here become unbearable, and I yearn for Fall!!
ReplyDeleteLove your apples. They are so gorgeous!!!
Yea for cooler temps in your neck of the woods!!

Our heat kicked on last night, which is unheard of in August around here. But it does have me thinking fall too. Your apples are pretty impressive considering you didn't spray them. Enjoy your cobbler!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda....
ReplyDeleteYou indeed got me in the autumn mood! I love all your pictures, and am especially smitten with the red whicker chair & apples. Our little orchard is not ready for picking quite yet...soon.
Kari
love the photos - so mouth-watering! and loving your new blog header...I guess autumn is approaching...but we've been having the most wonderful summer weather, I don't want it to end!
ReplyDeleteHello Linda,
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to have two trees full of yummy apples and enjoy the cooler temps.
Blessings,
Linda
Linda you paint a picture I miss so much.
ReplyDeleteThe turn of the summer into fall and enjoying the nature of it all.

oh they look delicious, the tart ones are my fave! love that amazing wicker chair! and oh yes, I'm thinking Fall...
ReplyDeleteOh, I was think fresh apple cake. Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't that sound good, too?!
DeleteSuch pretty little apples! They looks so sweet in your darling chair. This time of year always makes me want to bake something with apples, too. I have a few this year, but the birds and deer have discovered them already. Better get to picking, I guess! Enjoy your weekend, Hugs xoxo
ReplyDeleteHi from your newest follower on GFC, G+, Pinterest and twitter! Found you over at Common Grounds linky party! I love going to the apple orchards here in Michigan! Cant wait to go this year, as last year we didnt have apples because of that warm winter we had. Anyway, I am having a linky party right now, so head on over and share some of your great posts! Here is the link and everyone is invited! http://wonderfulathome.blogspot.com/2013/08/wonderful-wednesdays-linky-party.html
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!
Thanks, Kristen!
DeleteI sure could go for an apple pie!
ReplyDeleteNot to mention the apple orchards here in Minnesota are destinations in themselves. The apples on our two trees don't look so big yet, I'm hoping they aren't stunted like all my veggies seem to be.
ReplyDeleteHi there... I popped over from Debra's party... your apples look so yummy!... are they Jonathons?... I love Autumn... and apples... my favorite time of year... and apple cobbler sounds delish!... xoxo Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteYummm! The apples are beautiful. We have a place called Oak Glen out here where we can go pick fresh apples, but not until September or October!

Truth be known, I am kind of glad to be done with garden chores too. Beautiful apples!
ReplyDeleteLucky you! Those apples sure are some beauties. Think of all the yummy things you'll be able to make with them. What varieties do you grow?
ReplyDeleteStop it, you're making me hungry! LOL... I love your series of photos here, especially the one with the wicker chair!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Apple cobbler sounds wonderful! I'm making a peach one tomorrow. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the pic of the apples in the basket on the chair! So charming :)
ReplyDeleteSusan
Your photos are beautiful! I picked our apples two weeks ago and today I am going to help my grandkids pick apples off their tree.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what variety mine is, I do wish I knew.
Have a wonderful day!
Your apples look delish! We are starting to harvest a lot of things from our garden. Hasn't this summer flown by?? Mimi
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! what gorgeous apples. I live in Southern Mississippi and its still hot as hades here. You cannot hardly breathe. I cannot wait for some cooler weather. We grow lemons, satumas kumquats and oranges. Oh yea...and weeds. I would love to visit up North. I did get to go to Ohio to visit my blog partner and friend Sherry. I loved it.
ReplyDeleteBlessing,

Summer hasn't ended here yet either...hot and humid this week!
DeleteThe weather here in northern IL was beautiful and cooler than normal (70's) all month until a few days ago when it hit 90 and hasn't stopped. Now the entire next week is supposed to be 90 - 95F! I normally love summer, but even this is a little too hot for my liking. ;-)
