What a GORGEOUS weekend!

I can't believe it is more than halfway through October already but it is. We have had the house windows open all weekend and Colin even wore shorts Sunday and was not the least bit chilly. We just talked to Jeffrey on the phone and he was saying it has been SNOWING in Nebraska...what a difference! Amazing. Saturday we went to a local farm to get our jack-o-lantern pumpkin. They didn't have all that many to choose from but Colin found one he liked so that's all that mattered. They were also selling freshly pressed apple juice from a huge vat. You buy the jug and they give you whatever amount you want. We just got a liter because we didn't know if we would like it or not. Well it was like drinking a liquid apple...INCREDIBLY fresh and sweet and delicious...there is NO comparison to the stuff we buy in the store. We will be back to fill our jug next time for sure. Just as we left I spotted a cute kitten taking a nap in a straw filled wagon surrounded by gourds. I couldn't resist petting him and getting a few pictures. He was so sweet! So you KNOW what my picture for Saturday has to be!




Sunday was another pretty day so we drove over towards the town of Worms where we used to live 12 years ago. After poking around in a few flea markets we took a nice drive in the countryside and strolled around a few picturesque villages before it got too dark for pictures so we headed home. One of the places we poked around in was another apple farm..there was what looked like a HUGE bunker filled with apples. There were jugs of juice stacked all over and the smell of apples made it almost like we could taste them. So to finish out what kinda sounds like the total apple weekend I chose a picture of just a FEW of the apples in the pile for my photo of the day for Sunday.
