Sunday Morning In The Orchard

 

Today's weather was so perfectly autumn (even though autumn is still a few days away) that we decided to skip church and head to the orchard! xo 

Weekending

 

It was a weekend full of time outside, visiting with friends we haven't seen in far too long and apple picking! Oh, and the big news, the first two eggs were laid! xo 

In The Apple Orchard

This past Friday was an absolutely perfect crisp October day. The kind of day that just requires you to head to the apple orchard for a bit of apple picking (and for some cider doughnuts -for those not competing, of course). For the last several years we have gone to this lovely orchard in Lancaster. It's always quiet, not overrun with field trips and the owners are super nice! With the exception of one field trip we had the place to ourselves. The girls quickly filled their bags with apples and then we journied back down to aquire some of the aforementioned cider doughnuts (which smelled SO good)! It was truly the perfect way to spend a glorious October morning! xo 

In The Apple Orchard

Since it was finally on the cooler/more autumnal side Tuesday morning we decided to eat a quick breakfast and head to George Hill Orchards to do some apple picking. We had been waiting for the weather to be more seasonal so that we could go (as it just doesn't feel right to us to pick apples in anything other than cozy clothes). We arrived  and other than one small preschool group we basically had the place to ourselves! It was divine! We made our way over to the Cortland section and in no time at all the girls had filled their bags. With filled bags of apples and a bag of cider donuts we made our way back home, with plans to return some time next week to pick some more apples for the express purpose of canning applesauce! Happy autumn, friends! xo

At The Apple Orchard

Yesterday was an absolutely glorious autumn day. Perfectly crisp and lovely. The kind of day where the orchard just beckons for a visit. We were happy to answer the call, and happier still to have the place to ourselves. It was lovely to be in that space; listening to the birds sing, filling bags with apples and chatting with each other. Such a beautiful way to spend an October Friday. xo
