Apple Orchard, Pumpkin Farm, Part 2

 

When you arrive at the orchard you are greeted

with lots of colorful displays.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The flowers were putting on quite the show also.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They have pick your own gardens.

 

 

 

 

 

There are animals to pet and feed.

 

 

 







 



 

When you need to rest your feet there a plenty of places to sit.

 

 

 

 

That's it for this week.

I hope that you enjoyed my picture show

and that you are able to tour your local

Apple orchards and Pumpkin farms.

 

Until Next Time,

The Sweet Side of Fall

When I went to the apple orchard and pumpkin farm

to take pictures I bought 2 bags of apples.

 

Every year we look forward to apple season.

There is nothing better than having

fresh fruit when it is in season.

 

Hubby and I will take an apple to work

each day as a healthy snack.

 

We usually end up buying 2 crates

of apples each year, that's how much we

love apples in season.

 

Hubby loves him some apple pie too!

 I don't.  Strange I know because I love apples.

But that doesn't stop me from making

apple pies from scratch for my family.

 

Talk about wonderful fall smells!

 

So yesterday I made an Apple Crumb pie.

 

 

I will enjoy the smell of the pie baking and Hubby will enjoy eating it!

 

 

 That's it for today.

Until Next Time,
Veronica

 



A Trip to the Apple Orchard & Pumpkin Farm

Last weekend I headed to our local Apple Orchard

and Pumpkin Farm to practice using my new camera.

 

I spent over an hour there and took 483 photos!

 

That's A LOT of pictures!

 

I didn't realize that this farm was so big!

There was so much to see and do.

 

Since I took SO MANY pictures I thought

that I would break them down into 2 or 3 posts.

 

Don't worry I won't show you ALL 483 photos.

Just the ones that I thought turned out nice,

as far as amateur photography goes.

 

As you head into the apple orchard you can see

that the apple trees were very full with ripe fruit.

 

 

 

They have 53 varieties to choose from.

 

 

 

 

 

These 2 apples had grown together.

 

 

Even the wildlife enjoy the apples.

 

 

If you would like to pick your own apples,

ladders are scattered throughout the orchard.

 

 

They even have a field of sunflowers...

 

 

...with full moppy heads.

 

 

And then there are the pumpkin fields.

Oh my golly gosh, the pumpkins!

Oh how I LOVE the pumpkins.

There were yellow, orange, green and white pumpkins.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The pumpkin fields were starting to get bare.

 

 

 

I captured this little boy contemplating which pumpkin

he wanted to pick next to fill his wagon.

 

 

I think that's all the pictures I will share today.

I don't want to overwhelm you.

 

How about you?

Do you enjoy visiting the apple orchards

and pumpkin farms?

 

Until Next Time,

Veronica

A Saturday Drive

Hubby is still recovering from his foot surgery.

It's been 6 weeks and he was starting to get

a little stir crazy.  Since it was such a nice

sunny day today we thought that we would

get out of the house and take a drive to see

if we could see some Fall colors.

Of course I always take my camera with me.

You never know what my camera lens will capture!

 

We headed to an Apple Orchard that sits

on a hill and has a nice view.

 

We're thinking next week they will be at their peak season.

 

 

 

 

This Apple Orchard had crates of gourds and Indian corn...

 

 

 

...and these mini sunflowers planted along the front.

 

 

 

While there you can buy a caramel apple.

 

 

They also sell homemade apple pies and turnovers, fresh pressed cider, onions,

and potatoes.

 

Whenever we are in this area we usually stop and have lunch or dinner here.

 

 

If you are ever near a Monk's check them out.

Everything we have ever had here has been very good,

plus it's a very good family friendly restaurant.

 

 

You can sit in the bar area or the restaurant.

We chose the bar area so Hubby could watch some football.

Lots of viewing areas around the bar and restaurant.

 

 

For lunch I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Salad with Ranch dressing

along with an Angry Orchard, and Hubby ordered a Mushroom Swiss Burger and

a Leinenkugel October Fest beer.

Yummy, Yum, Yum!

 

 

On the way home we stopped at a Tractor Supply Store

to buy some Black Oil Sunflower seeds to feed our birds.

 

I had to take a picture of this girl sitting by the front door

holding her pet chicken.

I knew my niece, Lisa could appreciate this.

 

 

When we arrived home I snapped a couple of pictures

of one of our Burning Bushes.

 

 

 

That's it for our Saturday drive.

Next week, weather permitting, we will take another Saturday drive.

 

Don't forget to check back in tomorrow for more

pictures of the apple orchard I visited last week.

 

Until Next Time,

Veronica
