Autumn

And the end of sandal season.  I've had to switch to sneakers.

But at least it's much quieter to walk now.

And with the changing of the leaves, starts apple picking season.  Hubby and I went this past weekend. 

The weather was perfect and the scenery at the orchard matched it.

It was so perfect that we lost track of how many apples we picked and ended up with loads extra. I've spent the last couple days baking pies and cake, freezing apple pie filling and applesauce.  But I love this time of year.
