Apples & Pumpkins

What a perfect Fall day in New England . . . clear skies, lots of sunshine and crisp air with temps in the low 60s. It doesn't get much better than that! My mom had never been apple picking so I decided it was high time she experience this fun pasttime. We went to Clearview Farm, an orchard not too far from our house, and spent the morning picking some very delicious apples. Of course we had to taste one and agreed that it was the best apple we had ever had. Unfortunately, there were no carmel apples there so we were forced (yeah we really had to twist our arms ) to go to another farm stand where we got carmel apples, mums, and baby pumpkins. The carmel apples were made as we waited, making them warm, messy and very yummy!!! We had such a great day, as you can see from the pics below.
 

I'm going to hate to see my mom leave next Friday but I'll survive since she'll be back for Thanksgiving (when she'll bring my dad too!)


The only thing that would make this weekend better is having Garrett home. Thank goodness he gets home next Friday night! I know we survived six months and this has only been five weeks but I really miss the guy and cannot wait for him to get home

Hope you are all enjoying the weekend as much as I am.
