T stands for taste

-

Our first taste of fall included a beautiful day and the crisp smell of apples. 
 Apple picking at Honeypot Hill.


Climbing to pick the best apples

Our tradition continues 

They told us this was a great year for the apple harvest. We have plans for another visit, once we are baked through our haul. Apple pie is up first! We also enjoyed one of our favorite treats…apple cider donuts. Yum!

Still warm and delicious.

A good night with a harvest moon

    Apple picking is the best, isn't it? Especially with a good crop. And you can't go wrong with cider donuts. Looks like it was fun Nan. Happy T day. hugs-Erika

    Looks like fun. Himself made a gizmo to reach the high places. Half a 2 liter soda bottle on a long pole.

    The harvest moon was gorgeous. We watched it rise as we drove into Rochester from Wisconsin. Apple cider donuts sound mighty good!

 I am a big fan of NPR and RBG and this book came highly recommended. It was refreshing to read about Nina Totenberg and her friendship with Ruth Bader Ginsberg, as well as with Cokie Roberts.  I am sure this will end up on my favorites of 2023. I’ve been busy with some art projects, but always keep reading on my daily list of things to to. It’s my way of winding down at night. It’s always nice to curl up with a good book. Happy reading!

Art in Bloom

  Art in Bloom Art in Bloom is being celebrated as a rite of Spring fundraising for art museums and libraries . In museums, floral designers create a piece to coordinate art on display. Local libraries and Chamber of Commerce combine their efforts with local art guilds and garden clubs to host a fun evening event. Libraries, art, flowers…what’s not to love? I decided this was an event I wanted to be involved in, both on the art and floral design aspect. First up: the display case, I asked Fiona for help on this. Here’s what we put together for the event. This is my first year participating, but it provided a great opportunity to put my art to good use. Happy Spring. Bloom where you’re planted.

T stands for time together...in Ireland.  Heading to Ireland for a mini break provides a welcome respite from hustle and bustle. It's a chance to enjoy life at a slower pace, and get outside and enjoy nature. There is no place that we find as peaceful, and walking the country roads never gets old. Fortunately the weather cooperated, and the days are long...daylight until almost 10 o'clock at night, which leaves plenty of time for walking everyday. Our range was between 6 and 13 miles per day, making the most of our time outside. Not many people on our route, but not short of company. The dairy farm and creamery is just down the road, so you know our milk is fresh!  Sometimes, after a long walk, a cuppa and a biscuit aren't enough. One of my favorite places to eat is Brown's in Derry. Wine anyone? Yes, please! Seafood Chowder David's choice And dessert.... Brownie, Cream, Raspberry Sorbet, and Raspberries What's not t
