Seems ...Must have been a nice day of applepicking. Seems like I'm looking right outside a window into that orchard. Love it. Oh, and I'm 100% American and never called it Hide and GO Seek. But then again, I'm from New Jersey where we say we're going "down the shore" not to the beach and depending on what part of the state you were raised in, it's either Taylor ham or pork roll. Roundabouts are circles here and a jughandle, well, it's not part of a jug. Silly isn't it - but it's all English to me. Hope you have a wonderful vacation, or is it holiday. :)Lorraine https://www.blogger.com/profile/11427333309803544827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-65033661165925507992017-04-20T12:14:00.380-04:002017-04-20T12:14:00.380-04:00chutes are safer, for sure!

Yummm! I love anything to do with apples and suppose it's because of the lovely reminder of my grandma. I miss her so much and was probably closer to her than my own parents. Beautiful piece and can't wait to see what you do for tree! :)<br />xoAlexandra MacVeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17317852980496492650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-70007044100946755812017-04-20T01:06:53.698-04:002017-04-20T01:06:53.698-04:00What a great ladder by that loaded apple tree!

That's another way I've used a ladder, but didn't think of, probably because it seems our tree is nearly at the end of its apple producing years.<br />I cringe whenever my husband gets up on a ladder now, especially after our brother-in-law took a bad fall from one a year or so back.joekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02667559017050803003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-54428531353040595372017-04-20T00:49:36.915-04:002017-04-20T00:49:36.915-04:00How funny–I don't recall ever hearing of SNAKE...How funny–I don't recall ever hearing of SNAKES and Ladders until today.

I LOVE it. Love the style you've given it. Great pick and pic. <br /><br />Yes, I'm sure you have thousands of choices for TREE so will be super fun to see waht you choose. Maybe one of those giants of the African safari? <br /><br />BTw, re: your comment (in case you don't read it on my blog): that is too funny, Mary, as I was also thinking Snakes and Ladders!! I'm sure you felt the same way the first time you heard it called "Chutes and ladders." Same thing with "Hide and GO seek!" :)Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17712046924863763290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-85657669615515681332017-04-19T08:56:29.524-04:002017-04-19T08:56:29.524-04:00I love that little apple picking picture.
