For the first time in my life, I went apple picking today. Drove with some friends to the town of Brookfield, Mass. from Worcester (trees do look pretty in fall!) and had a very enjoyable experience. The only regret is that there was no one with a camera there.
Also on the list of first-evers was apple dumplings, which with ice-cream comes close to being the best thing I have had in months now.
The whole thing was thought out during the span of a few seconds, a spur-of-the-moment thing, and boy! am I glad that I went with my instinct.
