Today was a bright and sunny Sunday. So, this afternoon Carrie and I set out to see the colors (or as the locals say it 'FOLIAGE'... whatever!). We headed North through Massachusetts and found our way to the southern edge of Vermont. The colors were ok, not as great as they are near school (I guess it has been colder up there and the trees are further along). Anyhow, we found our way to an apple orchard. You can see that we picked apples! FUN, Fun, fun!!!
We had a great time. The orchard has a draft horse wagon that you can ride through the hills of the orchard. It was a cheap $2 a person, cheaper than a movie for sure!! It was so much fun and the trees were pretty loaded in the areas where the 'YOU PICK' signs said NO YOU PICK HERE!!! You can see how the younger trees are full of apples. 
So, we finished some picking in the 75-80 degree weather and made it back to the barn for some hot apple cidar, cidar donuts (which I DiD NOT LIKE), and a chance to relax before the drive home. It was a pretty and special day. Nice to see how God's hand is in everything, even the apples and the pretty 'foliage'!! After a relaxing afternoon, it is time to return to the reality of the fall -- school work!!!
