Better Than Stolen Apples

October 05, 2024  •  Leave a Comment

Photos stir memories for me, often when the image has minimal connection. This picture is of apples in Door County, Wisconsin. Our friends were invited by neighbors to pick apples from their trees. Of course, I couldn't help taking photos. I do remember these apples were as delicious as any I ever had, maybe more so. I recall that day, and our wonderful friends, and the fun. 

Memories also flow about all of the orchards we have visited over the years, from my childhood and through parenting years. And cider donuts at the Myers Orchard east of Centralia.

But my first memory that surprised me when I saw this image again on my computer screen involved my freshman year at the University of Illinois. My high school classmate had noticed that the apple trees at the home of the university president were loaded with fruit. We could climb the fence and pick some. We did. We weren't caught and we likely picked no more than two each. I suspect we were not the first, nor the last. I don't think they tasted as good as the ones we were invited to pick in Door County.
