The Andrews Sista's

I'll be with you in Apple Picking time. Ok I know it was blossom time in the song but that doesn't work for me so I changed it. It's been apple picking time around beautiful CNY. Beak n Skiff is our favorite place to go but is a company so lame they don't even have a web presence I can link to. So here is an article about the Lafayette NY Apple Festival which happens every October on whatever weekend is going to be the rainest. Apple picking is a good time every year. Riding on the muddy trailer getting pulled by a tractor with tires flinging mud up in the air that little kids reach out an grab before Libby can stop me... I mean their Mom's can stop them. Or trying to snag an apple out of a tree as we motor a brisk 3 MPH to the rows of trees we get to pick from. In general I get to behave a little off the wall and have fun pushing people out of their comfort zone. Oh yeah, talk with a swedish accent (which apparently wouldn't be funny in the norths of Minnesota), play drag a leg, order food by trailing off to a mumble before your done, glowering at kids when I need the ladder they're using. There's something about fresh air and crowds........

Anyway I guess we were foolish for driving all the way to Lafayette since on the corner of the block there is a "Right Lane Ends" signs that bears apples.

Go figure
