Waxing green

I was traveling last week, and thus missed farmers market, where there were probably some early apples: Lodi at least, and maybe Vista Bella. ¶ 

I made it to an orchard on Friday. Things looked pretty good there! ¶ 

Hutchins Farm, in Concord, Massachusetts, did not have any apples to sell yet, but will soon by the look of things.

Apples at Hutchins Farm in Concord, Massachusetts, on July 24.

Meanwhile, I long for that first tart local apple.
