I think I might be getting the hang of this taper business. I am enjoying a quintessential fall Sunday in New England. I started with an exceptionally tasty breakfast.
The apples are just too good to ignore. I topped a simple batch of stovetop oats with hot, sweet, cinnamon apples. They gave the usual banana a run for it’s money! I love the sweetness of warm, cooked fruit.
It was the perfect way to begin an apple-filled day! Today, I made the annual trip to The Big Apple.
This local farm is an attraction for everyone – children, family, puppies!
It’s sprawling with acres of apple trees, corn fields, and fresh vegetable gardens. There were plenty of bright orange pumpkins setting the scene.
I’m not quite ready to carve a pumpkin, but bring on the apples!
Yes, please! I love watching all the behind-the-scenes action on the farm.
The apple grader sorts the apples as the come off the orchard, while the bakers work to perfect their warm donuts.
As a kid, I always got a warm donut and a candy apple from The Big Apple. I broke tradition today, but that’s OK! Kettle corn was calling me.
Fresh kettle corn was perfect for munching as I walked through the farm. I loved watching the families, the little faces lighting up as they selected perfect pumpkins and ate homemade ice cream.
Happy Sunday!
What is your favorite fall activity? Fall is one of my favorite times of year, especially in New England. I love the colored leaves, the apple picking, and the hot cider. It’s a great time to be outside!
