Then we cranked off the kernels on ears of feed corn, (it was a true team effort... Sayer and I sat on the side and cheered)
Of course, we danced to a bluegrass band,
And said hello to an impossibly small looking Screech Owl, (looks like a distant cousin to Pidgwig)
It wouldn't be fall if we hadn't picked out some pumpkins, (with serious concentration)...
After which, with equal concentration, the girls painted their pumpkins...
Then they took turns trying out cowboy hats to find one for our scarecrow...
And of course, trying on the hats required some of their best scary faces.
Combine all of that with the deliciousness of apple fritters, apple dumplings, apple pie ice cream, corn chowder, kettle corn, apple cider, and BBQ sandwiches and I'd say it was a pretty nice day indeed.

ReplyDeleteSounds so fun! We tried to pick apples in NC but I don't know what happened this year. The orchard was practically empty of apples. Not a good harvest for them...
