Apples and Squash

Another weekend comes to an end. It wasn't too exciting this weekend, but it was relaxing this afternoon. A couple years ago my dad bought an apple tree. It's planted out at a family friend's orchard, so he takes care of the tree and we eat the apples. If we don't take all the apples, then he sells the rest. So it works out for both of us. Anyways, my parents and I went out to the orchard this afternoon to check up on the tree. There were about 40 or so apples on the tree, all ripe and ready to be picked and eaten. And they are sooo yummy! Of course we had to visit the rest of the store. We couldn't just go there and take free apples. We got a couple acorn squash for supper later in the week and some homemade strawberry rhubarb preserves. I can't wait to have some on my bagel tomorrow morning for breakfast! Best of all, we got some freshly pressed apple cider. I don't know why, but cider always tastes sooo good in the fall. It must just be because its apple season, but its soo good! I had a glass the second we got home. :) That was about it this weekend. It was also my last weekend of freedom til the internship is over. Starting tomorrow, I'm an official member of the real-life working world. I'll be starting my 55-hr weeks, 7 days a week. I guess it's money though, so I can't complain too much. It's time to go rest up. Have a great week everyone!
