Lazy Saturday: Apple Picking

Every year my boyfriend fiancé Michael and I make a list of all the fun things we want to do in fall. This year we’ve got a Spoon show crossed off, watching American Horror Story in the works, and of course a few fall standards like apple picking and pumpkin carving. This year, like last year and the year before (I like my traditions), we went picking at Nieman Markets in Cedarburg.

Like every year, we had a great time running around the orchard snapping pictures and picking all sorts of apples. I climbed a particularly gnarly tree too thinking it would make for fun pictures, but I got stuck like a cat. Let’s pretend that didn’t happen and you can just look at this rustic old barn instead. Oooh!

After getting stuck, losing a lens cap, and lugging two bags of apple out of the orchard, we snagged a gallon of fresh-pressed apple cider and picked a few pumpkins to make it an exceptionally seasonal outing. And before we left, I convinced Michael to do my favorite thing: pose with Garfield. Success!

Hope your weekend was as fun (and Garfield-filled)!
