Harvest time

I LOVE this time of year. Crisp cool mornings, blue skies, perfect temperatures during the day. A tinge of color as the leaves are just now beginning to change. Here is the harvest from our backyard fruit trees. Apples and Pears. Now compared to some harvest pictures I have seen on blogs this year our harvest is nothing. If you compare it to the first harvest that we had from these trees though it is HUGE! The first year that we picked apples they just covered the bottom of the basket.

I may make some applesauce, just to eat fresh. Homemade applesauce and potato latkes. Mmmmmm.
Here are a couple of pictures of our new house. You can see we need some landscaping. I think it will look LOVELY covered with snow. :D This is the front of the house and in the distance is the shop.

This is the backside of the house. Closest slider is the master bedroom. It doesn't show up great in this picture but there is a creek to the left and near the creek is some tile/stonework for a little sitting area and a fire pit.

I forgot to tell you that I finally got up the nerve (and remembered the date) to attend the local quilt guild meeting the other night. I told the family what was there for dinner prep and headed out. I even checked online to double check the address and then checked a map to be sure of where I was going. I arrived at the church on time and there were only a few cars out front. Hmmmmm. I parked and went in and the only group I saw meeting was Alcoholics Anonymous. None of them had quilts. So back to the car. The LQS was closed by now. The other craft store in town was also closed. Who could I call to find out where the meeting actually was? I called my hubby and had him look up the info on the computer. I had all the info correct. The only people I could think of at that point were the two ladies that quilted the Lakeside Charm quilt for me. They said they would meet me at the meeting and sit with me. Well I was sure if they were in the meeting though their phones wouldn't be on. I called the one - ring, ring, ring. Phooey. I called the other number - ring, ring, "HELLO". BINGO!!! So I explained the situation and she says. "Well I wondered where you were last night". LAST NIGHT??? Last night?? She said the meetings are on Tuesdays. That is NOT what the website says. Darn and phooey! Now I need to wait until October and hope that I remember.

For any fans of BL, the new season starts Tuesday, Sept 16th!! WOO HOOOO! I LOVE The Biggest Loser.

Prayers - for these last few days that my daughter is home. We take her to college next week. Just that we would be loving and really cherish the time that we have with her. For her new adventure. That she would thrive and grow and learn. Also for her roommate, for her safe travel to school and for her school year ahead. Praise - The internet is a wonderful thing when two gals can get to know each other ahead of time.
