Embracing Fall

Saturday's have become

date nights or days.

This one began

on a chilly, relatively 

overcast day

but it still felt good to get

out in the nip

of autumn's air.

We began in a maze of corn:

We did not get lost

but we never did find our last checkpoint.

I loved the 1.5 mile walk.

And they just loved being together.

Next stop...

the apple orchard

where we began with a hayride.

We were in very capable hands.

The colors were pretty.

Sorry for the slight blur,

it's not easy taking a picture

while sitting on a hay bale

bouncing through the orchard.

The sweet scent of the apples

was intoxicating.

Dusty shoes and socks from the corn field.

Pumpkins, pumpkins and more pumpkins

but the Great Pumpkin was no where to be found.

Here we are, returning to our
starting point.

The barn now holds
a very charming little gift shop.
The building to the left
houses more gifts,
the best apples you could ever want
and the ooiest, gooiest bestest caramel apples
in the world!

We returned home for some
pizza and rounds of Wii.

It was the best of days.

How are you spending your fall days?
