Why I Love Fall

The photos say it all...


The lone tree in our little backyard


Apple picking yesterday in Waconia at Deardorff Orchards, a great little family-owned orchard on a quiet dirt road

How 'bout them apples for cooking? Made applesauce today with the Haralson "seconds"- a large bag of barely bruised or barely pecked apples for only $5. Yum.


My parents and I picked raspberries at their friends' place last week. And people wonder why I would love a place that has land and space to grow things like this!

That tree is gorgeous! You lucked out, with your one little tree. And those raspberries...my mouth is watering! We got 15-20 raspberries off of our new plants this fall (over a period of two weeks - LOL) and it was so thrilling.

I can't wait to see you in a few weeks. I'm really looking forward to your trip out here!
