Apple Pickin'
Jack Childers, Hopewell's Program Service Supervisor, took three residents apple picking. Unfortunately, this was not a good year for apples as we were only able to get about 3 bushels. The apples were picked at an Apple Orchard that supporters of Hopewell own and we appreciate them inviting us out every year to pick.
We are looking forward to making applesauce, apple cider, and apple butter in the next few weeks but since there were such a low number of apples, we won't get to make much. Jack said "last year we had an entire truck full of apples, it varies every year depending on weather." Guess this was not the year for apples!
