It's Apple Picking Time!

We have lots of stuff going on in our little village, between the weekend Farmers Market, a 150 year old fantastic Country Store, Shelburne Museum which is a true gem for any crafter and lover of antiques, I can spend hours looking at the antique quilt collection and the embroidery sampler collection (my favorite), Shelburne Farms and Inn with grounds designed by Fredrick Olmsted who was the landscape designer for Central Park in NYC, Friday night music and burgers at the Bread and Butter Farm, Shelburne Beach, gorgeous Bay Park, The Lake, Shelburne Pond and endless walking trails I must say that apple picking is one of my all time favorite things to do!

Driving down the road to the orchard is a so lovely, the trees are already turning and Autumn is settling in, you can feel the chill in the air and I was bundled up today with a sweater and boots!

The orchard is lovely

endless views looking over lake Champlain and the Adirondacks to the west

I love the great signs

The trees are laden with apples, look at this!

The shop carries the best cider, apple cider donuts, apple pies and pumpkins!!

Apple pies on the way to the oven

On the way home we stopped at the beach and just sat and looked out at the horizon for a while, it was such a great day.

How lovely! We have had wonderful autumn days in Trondheim (Norway) this weekend, chilly, but bright blue skies and sunny.

what a gorgeous apple post! they look so tasty. unfourtunately the apples in my garden have no fruit, it's so sad. It was so wet here during the growing season and possibly due to there being less bees around too. Enjoy the apples! they look so sweet. Heather x
