It was a perfect day to go apple picking.

It was a crisp sixty degrees as we headed up to Carter Mountain Orchard. Before we left we checked the Web site, and you should too. It’s impressive, with an apple use chart, recipes and other helpful info. We agreed that we won’t shop anywhere that doesn’t have a decent Web site.

The Red Delicious were almost, but not completely out of reach.

 

 

 

 

The Goldens were low enough for kids to grab, too.

 

 

 

 The view from the top of the mountain was wonderful — on one side you can see all of Charlottesville with the mountains in the distance. On the other, the beautiful valley.

 

 

 

 

 

We admired, but resisted the $14 pies.

 

 

 

 

 

But sunk our teeth and our dollars into some apple cider doughnuts, along with our haul of apples. These doughnuts are at least as popular as the apples themselves.

 

 

 

 

 

It was a lovely day on the mountain.
