Murphy's Orchards

Over Labor Day we were trying to decide what to do since David had a day off school....I got searching different orchards and came across this one that had pears to pick! We were so excited and the best thing was how cheap they were...35 cents a pound!! We picked a bushel and a half (which is A LOT) and then came home and canned them the same day. Lots of work, but well worth it. I didn't want to do it that day, but David talked me into it since he was there to help and I'm glad we just did it and got it done. And they are an awfully nice addition to our food storage:)

My little helper....

Look at how big this tree is!!
Elsie couldn't get enough of them...she kept picking them up from the ground and eating them.
I just can't get enough of these two cuties...sure love them!
I love the fall season here and one of my favorite things about it is all the orchards that are all around. I've been thinking so much about how this is our year of Buffalo "lasts" and I'm going to be so sad when next fall comes around and I'm unable to go to an orchard to pick fresh fruit. Yes, Buffalo winters can be a little long and dreary, but besides that, it is such an amazing place to live and I'm going to miss it so much!
