New Englandy Fall
This past weekend, the sun was out and we finally got outside to enjoy the warm sun (after some chilly nights with no heat). Saturday we worked a bit on the garden, pulling up plants and picking some of the last vegetables. Unfortunately some of the veggies were planted late and haven't quite had the chance to grow too big. But we still got lots of cucumber, tomatoes, green peppers, greens, some beans, and some tiny little jalapenos.

Sunday was another beautiful day, and we drove out west a bit to Stowe to go apple picking at Sheffield Farms. With all the rain we had this summer, and the cool temperatures of the last week, the leaves have really come out in super vivid colors this year.

The apples were hard to come by on the lower branches, but with a little effort we got some tasty ones. Like this here Empire apple.... and plently of Cortlands for apple pie..




On the way home along Route 2, we stopped at the Walden Woods farm stand and bought some pumpkins.

We could only gaze in admiration at the long rows of the ridiculously expensive giant pumpkins before going back over to buy some only kinda expensive medium-sized pumpkins..
..and of course Greg took plenty of pictures of the pumpkins beautifully lit in the low-angle afternoon sun.
..carved pumpkins to come!
