We went apple picking today, at Outlook Farm, just down the road in Westhampton. Very fun, we ate lots of the sweet, crisp fruit, and we took some pictures to boot! If you want to see more photos, check them out at our Flickr account. Adah had a great time once we found some trees with apples within her reach. She is mighty tall for a two year-old (95th percentile,) but still not THAT tall.
The drive to the farm was lovely, with the foliage coming into its Autumn splendor. Every once in a while you see trees that just don't look real, they're such fantastic colors.
We're really enjoying trying out the local produce, and discovering new veggies together is one of the things that Ethan and I really love. Since coming to the East Coast, with it's distinct seasons, we've been discovering squash! Today we picked up a Pumpkin to carve (and for seeds), three Buttercup squash (our favorites discovered last Fall) and a new variety to try: Sunshine squash. Bright orange and very sweet, we really enjoyed this type for dinner baked, with some sauteed sausage, onions and green peppers. I made some pumpkin muffins with the leftovers, which are delightful.
So now we're hanging out, listening to the Red Sox game on the radio (game 6 against the Indians) Go Sox!
