ethan's apples

my nephew's first trip to the orchard was on a warm, fall day. the trees were just low enough for him to grasp on his own, but only after some effort.

he and his mama just slowly walked through the orchard, picking out the perfect apples.

and then dumping them:)

ethan's hard work paid off into two apple pies, an apple crips, with a 1/2 bushel left to share.

on the overlook

spending a week in the forest of eastern pa,  i planned a short afternoon lunch and rest on this cute little cliff for the hubby and i. 

the forest floor is covered with moss, that is just begging to be transplanted into a terrarium for our new bedroom.

the hubs enjoyed a quiet rest and talk with his girl. 

in a few days, i won't be able to have a glass of wine with my mom at noon. until then, we continue to relax.
