Apples From 2 Houses Away

We just made the first applesauce from my new hand-crank food mill (it's still hot!).

The picture does NOT do this applesauce justice.

It's lovely, tangy, sweet.

I'm glad the kids and I followed up on the hand-lettered (with fading marker on office whiteboard) sign:

"PYO Apples. Organic. $10 a bucket--25 lbs."

Nobody was home when we went picking, so we left the ten-spot pinned to the little bulletin board in their breezeway, with a note: "Thanks for the apples." And that was enough. Thanks again, Chappells.
