Spotted in New York for the 1st time, the new bug is quarantined in 13 Pennsylvania counties.

There was plenty of complaining about Central New York's wet summer this year. As golfers, Polly and I were 2 of the ducks at the head of that puddle. There is a payoff to all the rain, apples. The 2017 apple crop is being called one of the best when it comes to taste and there's plenty to go around.

Who doesn't love picking fresh apples in the fall? There are plenty of places in Utica, Rome, Syracuse, and CNY to check out. Here's five to check out.

Did you know that May 13th is National Apple Pie day? Who doesn't enjoy a wonderful apple pie? Of course, many enjoy baking these at home. However, we are very lucky that so many restaurants and businesses in Central New York bake amazing pies.
