Mike and I spent our Saturday morning going to apple orchards, a pumpkin farm and a corn maze. It was a beautiful cool morning with clear skies.
We headed to the apple orchards first and enjoyed some fried pies and then went home with 3 bushels of apples, a loaf of apple bread and a bag of dried apples.
Then we saw a pumpkin farm and decided to stop and check it out. This was the last week they would be open for this season. They had some huge pumpkins (wish I would have taken a picture of some of them.) We picked up a medium sized pumpkin, 2 acorn squash, 2 spaghetti squash and a butternut squash. Next year we are going earlier in the season so we can enjoy more and maybe even can or freeze some things.
Our last adventure was the corn maze. This was a huge reminder of how directionally challenged I am and how grateful I am to have Mike. He can find his way through anything. It really amazes me how talented he is.What a great day of just enjoying each other's company and God's beauty and bounty.

Sounds like a fun day!
Maybe being directionally challenged is a genetic thing? 'Cause my hubby has trouble with that, too.
I'm similarly impaired but good with a map which offsets it a little.
Even with a map we had trouble on our first foray to the grocery store in our car. Have walked it DOZENS of times. But in a car we could NOT figure out where to turn left in order to get across the big avenue. Ended up going clear into town and around and back. So the 10 block trip to the store took 15 minutes and *ahem* a few more blocks :-)
directionally challanged???? love that phrase!
Mike looks so funny with those overalls. Gotta say he takes the farmer thing serious.
Looking forward to seeing you soon!!!!
Mike says those overalls are very comfortable. He just loves them.
Sounds like you both had a great day! The weather look beautiful. Are you going to make applesauce?
Hugs!
