Today we took a school field trip out to the local orchard for apple picking.

The kids have been waiting not – so – patiently for this for a few months now, but I wanted to wait until the orchard had a wider selection of apples than just Jonagold and Golden Delicious.

Today we were in luck and nabbed ourselves some Fuji, Winesap and Jonagolds.

It wasn’t the best day for picture – taking, unfortunately. It was very, very bright and very windy.

It didn’t take long to fill up our bags and trudge back up to the apple barn to pay.

And pay we did. We picked SEVENTY SIX POUNDS OF APPLES.

That’s a lot of apples to carry. And we made sure we got some fresh apple cider donuts and apple cider slushies.

It was a very sugary morning, and now I have SEVENTY SIX POUNDS of apples in my kitchen.

There’s going to be a lot of apple sauce happening this week.

Want to see one of my favorite new things?

It’s silly.

When the girls and I were at Michael’s a few weeks ago looking at their Halloween stuff I found this ice cube tray:

Skull and crossbones!

I also really like that the tray itself is a very flexible, rubbery material. It makes removing the shaped cubes way easier.

Here they are in my iced coffee today:

YAARRRRR!!!!!!!!

Welcome October!

Posted on October 2, 2012 by WoolyMama | Comments Off

I cannot believe it is already October, can you?

I wish I could say there’s something to report other than burning, burning, and more burning.

The good news is that instead of a giant pile of brush preventing us from installing the fencing, we now have a small pile of smoking ash and small chunks of trees.

Today was rainy and chilly (a perfect start to October, if I do say so) so we didn’t start mapping out the fence line.

We did have school, nap, and watched old episodes of Warehouse 13.

I made Butternut Squash and Apple Soup (but this time I slow roasted the squash and apples in butter before pureeing them).
