apple harvest

About a mile away is a family run apple orchard that has been here in town for a long time. The town is moving forward with a planned road right through the orchard, taking out many fruitful, mature apple trees, and limiting the farmer easy access to his entire orchard. The road would ease Main Street traffic especially after the two concrete shopping centers are built both adjacent to the orchard. As much as I loved Harris Teeter in NC, do we really need a third grocery store in our small town?

I took the kids to pick apples, but to also meet Farmer Brown.
