Wonderful Weather for a change!
This weekend we went apple picking, and was the day beautiful! It was 78 degrees, sunny, dry(for a change!), breezy. Perfect. We went to our regular place, but each year it's been getting more and more commercial. They are finally treating us like a heard of cows. Get on the wagon, go here, don't go there, stay where I can see you, no sitting on rocks, get away from the stream. No picking raspberries - only on weekdays. We took my neice, she insisted it was "tradition"! Well, I have to say, we've been taking her every year, for half her life. (She's 8)
I think we'll be going elsewhere next year. We stopped at a place just down the road, and was it ever different! They had a fish pond(!!!!), raspberries, apples, and potties. Much less pressure, and no heard mentality.
On monday, when I got to work, the dew was on my garden, and there were spider webs all over the place. This one was a perfect spiral, and it's spinner was sitting there with good mornings for all. If you have time to only click on one pic, this is the one - enlarge it to see the drops of dew...
The last precious roses are blooming, with deeper color. They tend to open faster and last no more than a day.

Fantastic photos. I love that rose picture. Apple picking reminds me of apple cider. I like the clear stuff, not the milky looking stuff. Warm it up in the microwave, slap some spiced rum into it, yummmm!
The guy at the apple orchard said they can no longer make cider of the dropped apples: deer come into the orchard, bite the apples, pee and poop around, and they carry e-coli. They leave them on the ground for fertilizer.
One woman died (was it last year?) from drinking unpasturized cider from the dropped apples. Too bad, I just love cider!
