It is almost time for Fall. As the days grow shorter and cooler, we at the Walter house begin to crave the flavors of fall. Some of our favorites are apples, pumpkins, and cranberries. All of my boys like warm spices, including cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger, and allspice.
As some of you readers may know, I spent a few of my “growing up” years in Blue Ridge, GA. I cannot think of fall without considering a pilgrimage to Mercier Orchards on Highway 5 in Blue Ridge. They have the best fried apple pies!
Just this Friday, my husband Joe had some business to attend to in Ellijay. Well, Ellijay is not Blue Ridge, but Ellijay is famous for apples, too, and hosts an annual Apple Festival. So, I asked that Joe bring back some apples for us. Mama wanted some “Cameo” variety, while I requested “Fuji” or “Gala.” Joe learned that Cameos are not ready until late September or early October, though he did bring home a bag of Galas for the boys and me, and Mama received a big bag of mixed varieties. I guess we’ll plan a trip back to apple country for October!

Enjoy your Sunday, and we’ll see you Wednesday!
