Wow .....BEAUTIFUL weather today :)

Today was a first for us ......our first apple picking adventure as a family of 4.

It was great ....the apples plump, shiny and ready to nibble.

The farm house in the picture is several generations old .....

What a lovely spot and an awesome view of the river valley and all the colors of old man fall ....

Lovely day .....just perfect for apple picking , pumpkin plucking, decorating and ......oh yeah, did I mention decorating ??

Happy Fall .....
