There are too many autumns where I've missed going to the orchard... This was beautifully written and made me long for an apple! There are too many autumns where I’ve missed going to the orchard…

Almost feels like we started out that way sometime back. Now, "crunchy apple" is the key here! I'm afraid that most just aren't, at least the store-bought variety, and mushy fruit is a supreme disappointment. Maybe they just sit around too long? I've moved over to the pear aisle where the "crunchy" success rate seems higher. A good pear should challenge the tooth-gum union, IMHO. Regarding the "organic" aspect of groceries, I've always been somewhat cynical. Not so much that they might not be a purer, "un-tampered with" combination of carbon-hydrogen-oxygen, but that the corporate seller of such might just be doing a token certification of the goods, not unlike some of the kosher products you find in the same aisles. Then again, I may be gravely wrong about all of this and should wise up quickly! BTW, watermelon is a pretty amazing food also!
