contrary to popular belief

Based on the evidence of the blog, you might be tempted to believe that I haven't made any friends in Greenville.

But I have. I've made a few really great friends. really. Like this one, Lauren, who invited me to spend last weekend in Asheville for her birthday. 

Also from the evidence of the blog, you would be tempted to believe that I don't do anything on the weekends except pick fruit. You'd be correct about that. 

On the drive back to Greenville we stopped at an apple orchard ON TOP OF A MOUNTAIN and ate apples off the vine and bought some pepper jelly. Because really, how can you resist buying pepper jelly whenever you see it? It's such a rare delicacy. 

Here's the birthday girl again, wearing an apple as a hat (similar to a girl I know who wears a lentil as a hat).

and here we are sitting in a tree, making really awkward faces.

Did I mention the lambs? And my beautiful friend Sarah?

And a group shot. I wish you could see the view, but due to my poor photography skills--you cannot. Comes with the territory.

You know what being in apple orchard kind of feels like? That scene in the Wizard of Oz where Dorothy is so hungry so she picks an apple off a tree, BUT THEN all those scary trees attack her. 

Why is this my only image of an apple orchard? Nonetheless, it was so fun.

What was not quite so fun was riding home in a tow truck.

yep.
