| chestnuts on the tree |
Fred and Elaine followed us home from the wedding to stay for a couple of days. They were a big help to us around the house with Fred helping Chuck re wrap the green house for the winter and Elaine helping me keep things watered with the drought we are in. We needed a " fun day" before they left for North Carolina to see friends. ....sooooo we went to the apple orchard that is on the Alabama/Tennessee border. Elaine wanted some apples to take home with them. Scott's orchard had tons of them!!! They also have the best apple cider you could drink. It's like drinking liquid apples. It's WONDERFUL!!! Chuck and I have been to this orchard a couple of times and never noticed that they have two big chestnut trees out front. I had never seen chestnuts growing before so didn't know that they are in cased in a covering of prickly thorny things!!!! The covering splits and then the chestnuts fall out. Have you ever roasted chestnuts on an open fire????? I have and didn't like them. They are mushy!!!! like boiled peanuts. ...( Fred). We left with apples, apple cider and vinegar. Our next stop was to the goat cheese creamery...........
