If you’re new to apple picking, here’s what you need to know:

The most important thing – and I cannot stress this enough – is to wear a cute hat and scarf. If you don’t wear your new fall outfit and post a cliche Instagram pic of it, you might as well not even go apple picking. The process of picking your outfit should take longer than the process of picking apples.

Second, after you and your friends fill two giant bags with apples, go buy baking supplies and wine, and then bake stuff using 5% of the apples you picked, while drinking 100% of the wine.

Now if that’s not a fall day well spent, I don’t know what is.

See that lovely gray building behind me? That’s the City County Building, and I just went in there and cast my ballot in the midterm elections. I’ve voted in every election since I turned 18 *cough* years ago, but this is the first I voted early. I might have to do the early thing more often because it was so easy! I used to like the excitement of voting on election day, but I stood in line outside in the cold in high heels for an hour in 2016, and…well….we know how that turned out. Maybe it’s better to just get it over with.

There are so many good reasons to vote. I know, I know, maybe you think your vote doesn’t make a difference, and maybe in the end it doesn’t. But there’s a very important reason to vote anyway:

If you don’t vote, you can’t complain.

And I simply can’t face the idea of going 2 years without making snarky comments about the state of politics. Can you?
