We came back home on Sunday and decided to stop by a little place near Macon. We saw signs for a West Winery and wanted to go check it out. They have a little wine set up and an orchard. It was really neat and the people were so nice. They let us look all around and ask questions. Ben got to taste their wines--I, of course, did not. But it was still really fun. Plus, we got to go pick our own apples, which I absolutely loved. I get apples every week, so it was great to go pick my own. I decided to pick a half peck which was more than enough for me, but with that purchase you get another half peck for free. So now we have apples running out of our ears! Here we are apple pickin'. Ben had a picker that he could use to reach the apples at the top of the tree.
Then, yesterday, Ben called up a guy he met the other day to see if we could come over to buy some of his fresh herbs. He has a great garden in his backyard and gave us a ton of herbs for super cheap. We got rosemary, thyme, basil, and oregano. I've never even seen fresh oregano. He also gave Ben a couple of hot peppers to try out. Everything looks so good--it's so much better than we can get in the stores. Oh, and in the background of the picture you can even see the apple crisp that I made yesterday with all of my apples. We enjoyed that last night with Ben's homemade vanilla ice cream. What a great ending to a fun weekend!

Fresh herbs! I'm impressed! I had a little basil plant, and it was so neat snipping it onto pasta, etc. It died though! =( I saw this herb garden that grows without dirt at Macy's. It was too cool!
What fun! What are you going to make with your fresh herbs? I bet your apple crisp was really yummy!!
