pumpkin patching and sweater weather

I can hardly believe that October is over, and November is here!  November 1st is always a bit bittersweet around here, as it brings about the end of the Fall craziness on our family's farm (which means we all get to REST!), but it also means that the harvest time is over, which is one of my favourite times of the year.

Halloween Bark!

Happy Halloween everyone!  

Now isn't this just the cutest bark you ever did see?  My sister found the recipe for this Halloween Bark on Just A Taste, and we knew that we wanted to recreate it!  It's such a great idea if you need a last minute, no-fuss dessert idea for a Halloween party.....the hardest part about it is trying not to eat all of the candy before it makes it onto the bark!

maroon pants and apple trees

Alas, apple picking season is now over!  Although part of me is sad, a greater part of me is relieved.  It has been a crazy early and beautiful season for us, which we are incredibly thankful for, but our busy season is nearly over now, and November brings the promise of rest!

blush lace among plum trees

Living on a farm is a weird and wonderful thing.  Nearly everyone you meet dreams of living on a farm, although very few realize the amount of work that goes into running one.  Plants and animals don't care about weekends or holidays, and often the amount of work that needs done in a day is much greater than eight hours worth.  This is especially true during harvest time.  Our family has been running hard for the last six weeks already picking apples, plums, pears, pumpkins, potatoes, squash, gourds, and more, and we're all eagerly awaiting November 1st (aka: the next day our store is closed)!

apple fritters

So it is officially apple season!  Well, truth be told, we've been picking apples for over a month already due to the crazy warm weather we had all Spring and Summer.  Apple picking is a pretty sweet job, especially early in the morning when there's a bit of fog in the orchard, and everything is so peaceful.  I really can't complain!
