For the past 8-9 days or so, it has felt more like Southern California around here than it has felt like fall in the Northeast. 70+ degree temps, sunshine… and don’t get me wrong, I am LOVING it, given that 70s and sunshine is my idea of PERFECT weather. However, we’re now into October and I’m starting to wonder if we’re going to go straight from summer to… winter. I hope we still get a little fall squeezed in there to enjoy!

Thankfully, though, a couple of weekends ago we DID get a taste of fall. On Saturday, it rained ALL DAY… and of course, that also happened to be the day of Nora’s birthday party. Figures. (More on that later.) But on Sunday, we woke up to overcast but dry weather, and it was cool and crisp—even a little windy. We took advantage and hit up a local apple farm with my sisters-in-law, our nephews, and my mom.

(Kara is expecting baby Sadie at the end of the month! Hooray for a niece!)

This past Sunday (a week after our picking outing), I slept in a bit and came downstairs to find Michael and Nora making applesauce together. Too cute, and delicious, too!

We’re hoping to go get some more apples this weekend… in the nearly 80-degree heat. *shrug* What can you do?? Hopefully winter will hold off for a bit longer this year and we’ll get a true dose of fall through Thanksgiving!
