It's Fall

It is feeling a lot like fall here (and somewhat like winter). This past weekend we decided it was time to pick apples and pumpkins.

Unfortunately, the place we went to didn't have pumpkins left in the patch so we had to settle for pre-picked pumpkins on the wagon. (we also missed out on a hayride)
Henry did like sitting on the wagon. We're thinking of heading to a farm this weekend for a tour and hayride.

It was very cold and windy on Sunday but Henry didn't seem to mind it as he ran around the apple trees, tripped over the apples on the ground and was covered with apple parts by the time we left.

Picking his own apple!

Tonight it was time to start processing. Here Henry and Derek are working on prepping the apples for drying.

Henry was very excited (and focused) when it was his turn to operate the apple peeler. He just kept singing "peel, peel, peel" over and over again. Now we just have to wait a few days and put the next batch on the dehydrator.
