   They are also very common here in southern Wisconsin.  Saturday I picked 
1/2 bushel each of Cortlands and Jonathans (at $3 per 1/2 bushel, 20 lbs.
each, that's nearly 7 lbs per dollar).  It's only Monday, and I've already made
apple crisp, apple pancakes, and apple butter.  Yumm!
   Note: the above price was what they charge when you go into the orchard
yourself and pick 'em.  For less than the cost of going to the theatre, you
can frolic around an apple orchard, eating all you can stomach for free, and
get apples the way you like them, 100% guaranteed fresh.  And we even got a 
hay-ride to the back orchard!  What a deal!!

You can keep your Florida sunshine oranges; I'll take cool, crisp Wisconsin
autumn apples any day!
