Henrietta Creek Orchard was adorable! Google them and the website will come up. They are in Roanoke. You bring a wagon and bags or baskets for your apples. It's all you can pick for $1.30 a pound. They have several other attractions too- like a butterfly garden, vegetable garden, chickens and a worm tunnel. Wear tennis shoes and bring some bug spray!
Apple Pickin ACTION!
Look what we got!
The grounds were beautiful!

It would've been perfect if it had been a cool crisp autumn day, but alas, we are in Texas and it was not. But this will definitley be a new Fall tradition for the Mirksy family!
Lo! sweeten’d with the summer light,
The full-juiced apple, waxing over-mellow,
Drops in a silent autumn night.
All its allotted length of days
The flower ripens in its place,
Ripens and fades, and falls, and hath no toil,
Fast-rooted in the fruitful soil.
