It’s November already?

Where does the time go?

 We have been drowning in leaves! Scott bought a blower and he has cleared the lawn several times – needs to be done again. Honestly – we have a TON of leaves!

Scott has done leaves twice this year because last year we didn't get it done before the snow (sorry Marly Ü) fell - and fell and fell!!

 On Halloween we went to dinner instead of staying home and handing out candy  – a new restaurant in Greenwood Indiana called Revery. The food wasn’t bad – a little expensive – and the portions small enough that we had room for dessert. They bring you flavored popcorn while you look at the menu and cotton candy that they make there – with you bill. Ours was grape – fun!

When we got home – just beyond our drive a tree had fallen across the road and some of our neighbors were there trying to get by. So, on Halloween it was snowing (sorry Marly) and blowing – and Scott was out there with a chainsaw cutting up the tree – perfect end to Halloween!!  It was so cold that weekend that we started a fire – cozy! We had to replace a piece of glass on the fire insert and Scott thinks the oven is a coal burning oven. We might have to try burning some coal.

We went to the apple orchard in Mooresville – Anderson Orchard. I love that place!! We got to pick raspberries – it was like $3 a pound and I didn’t even get a pound – they probably should have weighed me before I went out there though Ü.

Scott’s grandfather had an orchard in New Mexico that had Winesap apples – he hasn’t had one that tasted like those apples in 30 years – we found some called Stayman Winesap. We bought a bag of them and Scott sent some to his parents. He also bought some gourds for our table – pretty!!We even had apple cider slushies!!
Hope you are enjoying the Fall - thanks for stopping by!!
