With Steven and Lisa in town, we decided we'd make an early trip to Apple Hill. It isn't REALLY early since many of the apple ranches open up to the public the week before Labor Day. But it seemed earlier in the season than we usually get there.
We picked a perfect day! The sky was cloudy and it was drizzling when we pulled into the parking lot at High Hill Ranch. Nothing like a little drizzle to keep the tourists away. It stopped drizzling a few minutes later and, although we weren't very warm, we stayed dry for the rest of our excursion.
Apple Hill had the usual assortment of artistic vendors but our first stop was at a hat makers booth where both Carolyn and Lisa selected and bought hats to keep their ears warm while making the perfect fashion statement. I selected a couple of belts at the next booth. Losing weight does have some associated costs.
Carolyn also found a necklace she really liked, made out of a 1949 silver dollar that had been gold plated in places and carved out in other places.
Before having our lunch and leaving for home, Carolyn picked a few apples (the easy way). 
We also dropped into the Fudge Factory where this magnificent chocolate carousel horse reigns over the front lobby. Makes your mouth water just to think about it.
