And meeting Gus's short-haired twin just puts the final seal of approval on it. <br /><br />We went looking for apples yesterday, and found a nice orchard that also has peaches and cherries. Too late for the cherries this year, but I'm definitely planning to go back for them next year. We've actually never picked our own apples, but this place offers it, and I wanted to scope it out before bringing some friends along to pick. I'm looking forward to fall!
