apples on a stormy day....

Do you see that flag down there????  YES, it was that windy yesterday and overnight....I don't know if I have ever heard a louder rain storm than last night's....I was looking at the weather map for the US, thinking to self "could this possibly be Patricia????" because the wind was from the SOUTH, which we never get.  And yes, the weather map shows that, Patricia or no, there is a straight line of storms drawn from Mexico to upstate NY.  No, we are not getting the kinds of flooding Texas is getting, of course, but DANG!

Anyway, it started mid-afternoon yesterday, just before we got apples and vacuumed out the car....there is a delightful little orchard on Cayuga Lake we like, on our way back from delivering pots to Aurora Art Design, an awesome gallery up the lake a bit....then it was time for applesauce with the OLD apples already in the fridge...I make it with cranberries, mmmmmmmmmm...
