Beautiful Sunday
October 27, 2009Outside Fall Fun!
What a beautiful Sunday… and a great day to do something outside. I started my day by picking apples and ended it (before dark) on a long walk. I love going to the farm stand to see the piles of gourds, pumpkins, and the corn stalks leaning against the wooden fence. It was a visual delight.
The drive took us along a blueberry field where I noticed the plants are even richer red than last week in Washington county. The backdrop of the pond and blue sky are intense. The golden leaves on the sugar maples are luscious.
I enjoy eating apples but I prefer it made into applesauce. In my opinion, Macouns make the weetist sauce (no reason to add any sugar or spices). I cooked about half of the 40lbs. of apples we picked and made 7 quarts and 6 pints for the winter. We won’t starve anyway!
I hope your last week of October 2009 is wonderful and that you have a chance to eat fresh apples, carve a pumpkin or go outside and appreciate the last of the leaves as they take on their brown and bronze hues. Before we know it there could be several inches of snow outside. I hear our friends in the county got some this past week.

There is a great orchard up near Corinth that has the BIGGEST macoun apples I ever saw…. the size of grapefruit.
Thanks for sharing Randy. I wonder what the name of the orchard is? Have you been up there recently?
