Apple Picking

Jim and I went to County Line Orchard today to pick apples. The weather was just right, not too warm or too cool.

We picked apples for pie baking, apple sauce and just plain eating.

The flower patch was just dying back. We did find this beautiful sunflower greeting us.

The pumpkins were growing all over the place. Usually we go later in the season and miss this.

Jim and I both like going and spending time here. It is so peaceful and a treat.

Vintage Saturday ?

A few months ago I started collecting vintage greeting cards. My collections is small but it is growing. I enjoy the sweetness of these images. I have several birthday and get well cards. I would like to find more thinking of you cards. I do send some of my cards to people I know will enjoy them as much as I do.

Vintage Friday

I started doing Vintage Friday on my other blog and decided to do it on this one too. This charm bracelet is from the 70's. I used to wear it all the time. Some of the charm are from trips to San Fransisco and Hawaii. Others are from Band and other high school events. I would like to wear it now but I think I would need to add a few links to get it around my wrist.

Fall

Fall is my favorite time of year. I love the months of September thru December. I enjoy watching the leaves change colors and fall to the ground, and I like to go apple picking and bake pies. The cooler weather seems to give me energy that I don't have at any other time of the year. Another favorite fall pass time is making soups. I'd like to try making a vegetable soup this year. Maybe I could try a new bread, too.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Live Simply

This is exactly how I feel sometimes. I want all the bangles and baubles but I also want things to be simple and uncomplicated. Why can't I have both?
