Harvest

We went out to Hood River last week in search of apples, kind of the best snack on earth.

After getting shut down at a couple places we finally found

 an orchard that would let us pick our own.

They had tons of cool old style tools. Above are some cider making presses,

below a scale- duh.

The real treat was all the crazy decor at this place.

The highlight being this sick arrangement

featuring a painting of Ray Charles.

 The woman running the orchard got super bummed on me

 for taking a photo of it. For the rest of our time picking

 she was known as the apple Nazi:

"NO FRUIT FOR YOOU!"

It turned out the woman was the artist.

 I thought maybe she was self conscious, but really

 she thought I was going to pass the work off as my own. She made 

sure to point out to us that the work was signed.

Meredith- soo excited! That girl belongs on a farm.

Our bounty. Oh yeah, pears as well as apples.

We stopped at the skatepark on the way back through Hood River just

long enough for me to eat crap rolling, then

 rode off into the sunset.
