Foxy Lady:

My grandfather owned an apple orchard in Missouri and we spent summers there waiting for the apples to ripen. They were great right off of the tree. He also had an apple press for making cider. I can still smell the workroom where the laborers sifted through the apples to ship out or keep for making cider.
