While the tree 🌲 was being removed I took a jaunt with first stop an apple farm.

This apple farm is in the Hudson Valley.

You never know what you’ll find when you travel.

Their limited and simple signage led to quite a find down a windy and steep road.

Here I did some retail damage with a pumpkin 🎃 pie for Thanksgiving at $14.95, 2 jars of preserves at $6.95 each, along with a half gallon of apple 🍎 cider at $7.

But bring cash as $7 per person entry fee and a credit card service fee of 4% which they waived as I spent much.

The assortment of apples is grand with the paths to the trees an easy walk.

And the views of the Catskills- priceless..

One thing struck me on this visit as I was the only English speaking American there, and the place had quite a crowd for a weekday. There were Bangladeshi, Pilipino, Spanish, and Orthodox folk all represented.

And isn’t that what makes us great.

We are a melting pot of diversity.

Why do we fight it?
