Apple Orchard Day with Family

Lil’ Miss Molly sat on her tuffet eating her apples and whey.

Aunt Carly’s “cute” apple Uncle John (Neat Pete’s little brother) heroically jumped to give pick for her in the orchard lane.

Uncle Tim (Neat Pete’s middle brother) and Ry strut their stuff through the orchard.

Aunt Lisa showed Ry the antique tractor.

Uncle John took Ry on a pony ride.

Not enough room for your pickings? Fill your nephew’s hood with apples. Uncles I tell ya!

Welcome to my home.

I love to celebrate the harvest season. I do not really get into the spooky stuff. But I do love the beautiful colors and natural inspirations that are around for fall.

I am linking up with Kimba over at A Soft Place to Land for an Autumn/Halloween decor and craft “party”.  Check it out and add your own photos!

I spurlged this year and bought a metal frame pumpkin from a local arts and crafts store. It was on sale for $5.

This charming little stained glass window hanger was a hand me down from my MIL (Mother-in-Love) aka Grammy Kris.

I made filling for the cornacopia from ribbon, leaves from outside and faux autumn berries on a stick. I usually keep my autumn handtowel in the emtpy bowl-they were all in the wash pile! The apple corer just happened to be by the bread box it is not a decoration but it could be if I weren't using it everyday! That's what 20 plus pounds of apples will do!

I like to add just a hint of the season in already exsisting collections.

I keep a little bag of candy corn stashed above my cupboards so my little ones can't beg for it all day long!

I still have a little craft fair flare in my blood.

Fall display on top of my entertainment center in the living room. I am "blessed" with the special task of incorporating two black speaker boxes into my theme.

Mini white pumpkins were 3 for $1.89 at the orchard. I think they are just delightful.

A 50 cent postcard from the orchard. I love the green color and it will remind me of a great memory every year I pull it out!
