Crow Mountain Orchard

  I was so excited to take a picture of my new booth setup to share with ya'll....I got it all set up and didn't try to take a picture until later in the day. Then I realized I didn't have my media card for my camera!! I called my husband to bring it to me, but as I was calling him, he walked up behind me. Maybe next time!!

Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, I went to Crow Mountain Orchards with my sister, Lisa, and Jackson. That was fun--Jackson seemed to have a good time and tried to talk to everyone he saw! Its so pretty there--the picture below is a view from the parking lot! I bought way too much--I thought I'd have more time to put the stuff up, but I just got carried away, I guess! I bought the biggest bag of apples they had and I ended up chopping them up, coating with sugar & cinnamon and baking them with some butter. We ate some and froze some. Last night I put some in a tortilla and fried it in butter like a fried apple pie and it was really good! Those should be good this winter....Then I bought some peaches. I started some peach butter, but I miscalculated and ended up making peach preserves and I made some juice for some jelly when I get a chance. The nectarines were gone pretty quickly and I still have some grapes in the fridge but I had to throw out some pears. (Don't know why I got those--I really don't even like pears that much. ha!)

My next show is Oct. 3 and I've been trying to get some Halloween stuff done. I'm hoping to have Halloween only in my both. Won't that be fun? I just hope I can get a booth full ready in a month!!  My sister's bridal shower is tomorrow so I've been getting ready for that....then I'll concentrate on Halloween tomorrow night. I even ordered some Halloween movies from Netflix to inspire me--nothing too scary, stuff like Edward Scissorhands, Nightmare Before Christmas and I even have Alice in Wonderland here to watch next! And I have this picture of my nephew, Tyler, pulling all our pumpkins at the pumpkin patch last year to get me in the Halloween spirit. I love this photo! We can't wait to go back to Crow Creek again this year!!

And I don't want any of your asking why I didn't post a kitty picture....so here's Sweet Pea. I think he loves to get his picture made!!
