A Pickin we will go...

Monday morning we headed to Willowbank farms for our annual apple and pumpkin picking. We picked some Gravensteins, Cortlands and MacIntosh. I have some baking to do!!!!

Sadly, there were no pumpkins in the patch ( I missed some good photos!). He lost most of them to the rainy season this summer. He did have some for sale in the barn and the kids were just as happy choosing from those (not as good photos wise). Of course the boys picked the biggest ones they could find. Geoffrey is all excited about the amount of "guts" that is going to be inside his. Gross!

It was so funny because in the morning when we got up it was chilly and crisp so we all dressed in sweaters and vests. You know, the perfect "fall" weather for apple picking. But by lunch time the temperature had gone up to 20 degrees and everyone was getting overheated. We had to go to Hennigars for ice cream to cool off. It turned out to be a beautiful "summer" day.

I think this round of chemo is a little better than the last one. I am dealing with a few new side effects but am doing okay overall. I am doing the count down to the last one.

Thanks for your card and note Penny. We'll have to try and get togther.

Hey Annette, how does my hat look?
I love it! The suede is perfect for fall and it is quite warm. Thanks a bunch. I am going to have the best collection of hats by the time this is all over with. Oh, and I love the matching mother/daughter Halloween scarves Yvonne. Thanks:0).

If any of you are in the valley, which you should be because the leaves are gorgeous, be sure to stop in for a visit. We'd love to see you.
