Me: We need to go to an apple orchard and pick apples.
Him: Why? Can't you just buy some in the store?
Me: No, I want some fresh apples that haven't been waxed and polished and I would like some leaves attached to them.
Him: Why?
Me: I need them for a fall photo shoot that is coming up.
Him: Oh, of course you do. How about this weekend?
Me: That's Labor Day weekend, but that's fine with me.
And that is exactly how it went down. Yep, store bought apples were not what I wanted.
I sure am glad he understands what I need to do for my blog. We drove to Ellijay, Georgia to the R & A Apple Orchards which is a family run business. To pick apples you ride in a wagon behind a large tractor and get a history lesson at the same time. It was a little warmer than we would have liked, but I needed the apples and it's just what you do.
Wouldn't one of these make a cool coffee table?
Be sure to come back tomorrow to see how I used those fresh picked apples that we sweated for.
Today is the last day to enter my GIVEAWAY. Don't miss out!
I love how you bloggers have your husbands in on the action - too cute!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are so beautiful, Kim. I can't wait to see were these apples end up!
ReplyDeleteWe love that part of the country and will be taking another road trip there again this year. Your pictures show why it's such a lovely part of the country.
ReplyDeleteKim, It's so hilarious the way our hubbies become part of the blog action, behind the scenes! Mine thinks he only eats home cooked if I'm making something for the blog and there is indeed some truth to this! :) Looking forward to seeing more of your apples soon! Linda
ReplyDeleteKim, I want to go to Ellijay for apples, but it is a long drive for me! Looking forward to seeing where the apples land! We are blessed to have husbands that understand!
ReplyDeleteA true blogger through and through and a true blogger husband!
ReplyDeleteI love reading blogs, but so glad I don't have to write one! We will have fresh apples at our produce market soon. Right now still enjoying the yummy peaches.
ReplyDeleteOh what fun! What beautiful pictures! And what a sweet hubby to help you! Blessings, Lynn
ReplyDeleteHaha! We have the same kind of conversations in my house. Gotta love those supportive guys! ;)

ReplyDeleteYou both are blessed! Love when couples show support of each other in such a loving way.
ReplyDeleteWhat we do for our blogs!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
I can just hear Doug saying that too! I bet those apples taste better than store bought too. Looking forward to seeing how you use them (before they're eaten).
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like fun besides being able to get them fresh. I love apples and all the ways you can use them and eat them. lol
ReplyDeleteMy new love enjoys making mountain trips for fresh veggies and fruit. Luckily its a quick trip but a lovely one..
ReplyDeleteGlad Mr. Savvy came around to you way of thinking. Fresh is Best and to my eye, the most beautiful.
Happy Birthday, again:) and sure, you're a virgo so if anyones gonna make it another 100 years , you've got a goof shot at it..
As I have stated before...you have a keeper there!....I love Ellijay....that town has great antique shops!....
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!!!
I do believe I would be on my own to go pick those apples. Mu hubby is not in on the action with my blog, unfortunately. I am anxious to see what you did with them!
ReplyDeleteLol! That's cute! That's definitely more fun when the weather is cooler:)
ReplyDeletePicking your own can be a lot of fun, especially if it's a cool crisp day! And even if it's not...
ReplyDeleteMary Alice
he he, that same situation happens around this parts but the mister is not always that understandable. Can't wait to see your pretty pics! Heading over to check the enter the giveaway. ;)
ReplyDeleteFall is such a great time of year. Love apple picking and pumpkins too.
ReplyDeleteI love going apple piking too!
ReplyDeleteThe only way to eat an apple is fresh picked....photos always look so inspiring with the branches and leaves even on the Lemoms when we were on the Santa Barbara shoot with Fifi O'Neill the lemons were the size of gape fruits not kidding, and the Apples there love the salted air.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your beautiful shoot.
I have been lacking in visits to you, I have been working on a new French Piece for my small sitting room, and just posted yesterday so now I can relax and catch up on all that I have missed.
See you soon.
The apple a day keeps not only the doctor away but you inspired for your shoot! :)

Nothing like fresh picked!
ReplyDeleteI hope you crunch into them and enjoy them after.
Our old house had an apple vine and they were the tastiest apples I've ever eaten!
Mr. Savvy is a good man! I haven't been to an apple orchard in years!
ReplyDeleteLiving in your neck of the woods, we go up to Ellijay every fall to buy apples. I am liking the idea of picking my own, but not sure hubby is going to be as agreeable as yours!
ReplyDeleteI used to take the children to Ellijay to the apple orchards. Once I took Mom along with us...it's so far away now, I really miss it. Loved this!
ReplyDeleteKathy
We love Mr. Savvy. The porch and apple picking adventure is lovely.
ReplyDeleteOh what great fun!
