Surveying the pumpkins.



Looking for apples to pick.

Picking an apple.

The bag before it weighed 30 lbs.

We went apple picking to celebrate the first day of fall. Steve's cousin Jess and her son Deagon met us there. It was a beautiful day, and there were lots of apples. Penelope was not having the best day, which was a bummer, but she remembers the day as having been fun, so I guess that's good. We went to Barden Orchard, which is where we always went when I was a kid. It is so pretty there, and it made me start wanting a farm again.  The last picture is after the farm when we were on our way home. The baby was crying and we stopped so I could nurse her and change her diaper. I love her pudgy little arms around her crying sister, it's such a sweet photo. After the girls went to bed Steve and I had a fire in the back yard and planned our dream farm while we watched the full moon peek through the ancient cherry tree as it rose for a whole 20 minutes, and then Violet woke up crying. So we just brought her out to watch the moon and sit by the fire with us. It was a good first day of fall.
