Fall?


Yesterday we took the kids to one of our favorite fall activities: apple picking. Well, we actually don't pick the apples per se. I think the kids are a little young still but hopefully next year.
Anyway, every year we visit an apple orchard to get some cider and apples, have a hayride, pet some goats and consume large amounts of cider donuts and apple crisp. Autumn is my very favorite season and I look forward to it all year.

Except when it is 82 degrees outside at the end of September. Global warming anyone?

So despite feeling most unFallish (yes, I am aware that probably isn't a word), the kids had a blast jumping on a maze of hay bales, eating cider donuts and picking out a few pumpkins .

And a gourd for Gavin.

Come on over. Feels and smells like snow here

The pumpkin crop here has utterly failed, because the summer was too wet. It's warm out today but windy in a way that doesn't speak of summer.
