Adventures with Apples and Some Pumpkins

We took the boys apple picking and hunting for pumpkins today. The apples were slim picking, but we managed enough to make a pie or two (or maybe three...) And then it was off to pick out some pumpkins ripe for carving for Halloween.

It was a beautiful day with skies of the bluest blue, without a cloud in sight. I hate to say it, but I am ready for the chill of fall. I would like to bust out the sweaters and bury myself under a soft blanket with a cup of cocoa. Until then though, we are soaking up our summer-like fall.
