Kenna Morton's Journal, 29 October 2023

I bought sooo many apples and pomegranates and oranges at the fruit farms at the base of the mountains. We hardly had room to put people in the cars.. Luckily we had three cars. One of the guys in our little group brought his wife— first time she had agreed to hang out with us. She is shy and Korean, she was nervous. 2 hours later and she is like our best friend. She was laughing and carrying on like the rest of us. Another permanent member of our expanding tribe.——I did get my apple dumpling, we all had apple dumplings.

I found my very favorite apple, an Arkansas Black. It is so dark red that it looks black from a distance. It is a great eating apple but you cannot bite into it, you have to slice it. The skin is so tough you would break your teeth. Once sliced you can chew it no problem. They will easily last till Christmas— maybe. It was 85 today. It should be a little cooler by Halloween— I hope.

We had a great time and our newest friend really added to the fun. Most of the fruit we picked ourselves, but the ARKANSAS BLACK never goes on display. You have to ask for it.

Wow!!! I would have enjoyed going to that fruit farm, that black apple though I never heard of, but it sounds like it can be made into some good apple butter.

Buenitabishop- the place we went to today isn’t just a single farm but a lot of fruit growing farms who have all gotten together to provide both picking experiences and simple buying experiences and of course eating experiences in the form of small bakeries each it seems has a specialty. Last year I had a piece of pie, this year we all had the apple du,plings.

Sounds like great fun. I'm so glad the Korean woman joined you, I always think about how difficult it must be to leave your loved ones behind and live amongst strangers with a different culture. How good it must have made her feel to be welcomed by your group.

The Korean lady and her hubs (my friend) met during the Korean War. He was able to bring her here about 2 years after the war ended. She has been here a long time but retains much of her heritage. She speaks very good English. She just felt awkward. Her husband wasn’t worried, he kept trying to tell her she would like us . Now she is going to start coming to the pool with him so all worked out better than we had hoped.
