Traipsing Through the Mud


It rained all day yesterday and we didn't have a chance to go for a walk. This morning Troy's dad brought along Troy's mud boots so we could walk in spite of the mud out there in the orchard roads. What fun! Troy has been so careful every other day to stay out of the puddles, but today he had the freedom to traipse right on through and he did! Luckily, he didn't lose his balance and fall over. Our walks the past two weeks have gotten colder and wetter, the apples are getting fewer and fewer, but we're having more and more fun. I look forward to walking almost as much as the kids.

  1. Looks like fun! Remember how Mom used to let us play in the mud sometimes?

    Many apples don't ripen until mid-October. I suppose you don't have them at your house.

  3. Priscilla, we are surrounded by apples of all kinds, but as the season progresses there are more and more empty trees and fewer and fewer trees with apples. Oh, they're still out there (lots of them) but Mr. Fox is one of those "on the ball" farmers who gets his apples picked and into Mott's on time.
