The York

We drove to Cana, Va yesterday afternoon along the Blue Ridge parkway to see some foilage and shop for apples. We tasted a few, then decided on the York. It is really crunchy and not too sweet. Old timers called this a hillside apple due to the way it is shaped.

Interesting apple, I'm still in love with the Honey Crisp myself!

Last week I bought what Harris Tetter called a "mountain apple" and they were very good...like the one's my grandfather had in his back yard. I'd rather have the adventure of riding around the parkway hunting for apples and buying them in the ol' HT though.

Halloween PENCILS? That's sad, Nane, really sad...
