THE QUEST!
Like Don Quixote and his faithful
companion Sancho my wife and I set
out on our annual quest yesterday.
Each year when the calendar proclaims
Autumn and the apples are ripe for
picking we begin our search for Cider
and Donuts! Sometimes we find them
separately. Often we'll find them offered
together.
Such was the case yesterday our top
down "back roads" journey took us to
Ritter's Apple Orchard and Cider Mill
in Lackawanna County.
The operators have turned the place
into a Fall destination with crates filled
with pumpkins, pears, and all sorts of
apples. There are pies and jellies . And
there are donuts! Pumpkin donuts, Apple
donuts, and Apple Cider donuts with
cinnamon sugar!
We opted for the latter with a pint of
Apple cider apiece for a chaser!
Kids can come and try the corn maze
or romp through a small barn filled with
bales of hay. Another popular attraction
features an over sized sling shot where
they can hurl apples......not at Windmills,
but at targets.
This is no Impossible Dream. It's one
of the reasons we son enjoy Fall right here
in northeastern Pennsylvania! Add some
colorful Fall foliage soon and you won't
want to be anywhere else!
Hope your quest is as successful as
ours and that all your NEWS is good!
