Despite being sad that the summer weather is leaving, I'm learning to embrace the presence of Autumn and the fun that it brings. This past weekend I (Becky) went apple picking with my sister Tina, her husband Jer, and our good friends the Profitt's. Sadly, Nick had to work and missed out on our fun little outing. We spent most of morning walking between rows and rows of apple trees. Who knew that there were so many types of apples? The farm we were at also had pumpkins, corn, and other fall type vegetation. As we were walking around picking apples I had one of those moments that you get while your in your twenties, "I'm OLD!" With all the different types of apples and pumpkins around me, all I could do was think about the different recipes I have at home and all the treats I could make with the 10lbs. of apples in my arms!
Although overwhelmed with thoughts of age and culinary ideas, we had a blast! It was so much fun to taste test the different apples right off the trees as we walked down each row. Gavin Profitt also had had a blast. He enjoyed the free samples on the ground!
We also were able to have a bon-fire where we ate rosted hot dogs and smores! The afternoon was toped off with a hay ride through the farm. It was a wonderful day out and we all had a great time.
By the end of the day I felt so refreshed after being outside in God's creation. Even though the summer has ended I am reminded that God has blessing for us even in the Autumn.
