Fall fun-ness part 2

Autumn brings my mind to cool weather and leaves turning from deepest dark greens to yellow golds and reds to purple and brown. I think of cool breezes and pumpkins and spiced apple cider, and of course football, but that's not included in this post! Grandad and I had our time at the pumpkin patch with two cute little pumpkins, Henry and Ben. There weren't cool breezes or the fragrance of spicy pumpkin pie baking. No, it was warm, not hot, but definitely not cool or breezy!
Today,the adventure was the apple orchard! What more could two boys want to do but have permission, even prompting to pull things off trees! Add a few of your cousins and it made for a near perfect day. Not quite perfect...no cool air, and we missed the fragrance of apple crisp baking, but nonetheless, the reward of a bucket full of tasty apples!

A snooze was needed first in order to attack the apple orchard!

Oh some swing time as we wait for mom to take pics of the cousins.

Finally apples!

And of course I made a new friend!

Day! Beautiful

The fragrance of mulberry and eucalyptus trees, the roar of the jet overhead, cotton white clouds, cool air, birds singing...ahhh...the first fall of leaves from the trees...the leaf blowers from the gardners, traffic whizzing past...ahhh...yes...beautiful, all of it!
