Apples!

Mr. Apples is a Stone Ridge classic. Fall wouldn't be the same without apple picking in Mr. Apples' orchard.

In another post I'll put up a picture of his sign, which is pure genius. In about 1999 he painted ".com" on the sign in rough, black letters.

He's also apparently a communist, which was entertaining for Thor when he came to Mr. Apples when he was a kid. Although Ada isn't ready to argue for the benefits of a free-market economy (and really, is anyone these days?) she still had fun running between the trees shouting, "apple! apple!"


Sophie, the daughter of our friend Tamara (and the future fashion mentor of Ada) helped Ada choose the right, perfect apple. Ada was a bit too busy wondering why her evil mama stuck a crazy side ponytail on her head. So, so wrong.
Nonetheless, Ada soon picks up the idea... "Apple! APPLE!"

There are just so many to choose from... hmm, which one seems more rotten and wormy? That's the one I want to munch on.
