Some of the apple trees have already been picked while others are waiting to be harvested in local orchards. I was picking apples today but didn’t get finished so there are still some apples hanging on the trees yet.
Apples Waiting Harvest

The warmer October days early this week had many people doing outside work in preparation of winter before the colder days arrive. Crop harvesting is one of those tasks, including picking apples before they freeze on the trees.

The tree looks like it is decorated with Christmas red balls, but instead a few apples have managed to hang on late into winter although they have been frozen for many days.

The dry weather today allowed my day of picking apples to be done in nice conditions instead of a rainy, snowy, windy or very cold environment like some years in the past.

There wasn’t too much green around today for St. Patrick’s Day. And it was hard to imagine green leaves and red apples when pruning the bare limbs of an apple tree today, especially trying to wade through a snow drift that came up to to my pant pockets to get to the tree.

According to what traditionally is known as “The First Thanksgiving,” the 1621 feast between the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag at Plymouth Colony contained waterfowl, wild turkey, venison, fish, lobster, clams, berries, fruit, pumpkin, and squash. Many of the foods at the first feast have become staples of the modern day Thanksgiving dinner.

The leaves are changing color, signaling autumn’s approach, but the leaves aren’t the only thing turning red as fall raspberries and apples are adding their red color too as they are ripening for harvest.

There were apples left on some of the wild apple trees in my field but with the temperature getting down to 7 last night and not above freezing for two day, I think the deer better be careful so they don’t break a tooth on the frozen apples.

Colored leaves and red apples on the trees announce that fall is here, but as soon as it gets here, it seems to slip away too quickly as more leaves are on the ground than on the tree, the days get cloudy and cold, and the apples are harvested before they freeze. And hopefully these apples were picked since the temperature was 23ºF last night, otherwise the birds will have a supply of apples to pick at.
