A WONDERFUL FALL TRIP

Yesterday we received a load to go to a place called Chelan, Wa. It was a 190 mile drive from Sumner, Wa. We unloaded in Sumner right away, and was sent to this location to pick up a load of apples. It is harvest season, and I can see why God has such a joyous heart regarding the harvest. The groves, and mountains surrounding them is majestic. It reminded me of another apple orchard; Just about every fall our parents would pile my brothers and I  in the car for a trip to California's apple orchards, it was called Oak Glen. We would get apples, and syrup, and apple cider. It was always a beautiful drive, but then I have always loved going to the mountains. We are hauling our wonderful load of apples to Harrisonville, Mo. It was a wonderful experience to see the States apple orchards. Washington is the largest producer of apples for our nation. Every orchard owner is a great servant to the rest of us. The harvest looked to be a good one this year, at least what I saw looked good.
