...all things apple

It's that time of year, you know what I'm talking about...apples.  Crisp, bright, juicy, delightful apples.

Every year, we try to find new ways to prepare this wonder fruit...and have fun with it.

This afternoon, E's request was apple bobbing.  

Any healthy apple recipes to share?

Talking about having brains

Put 'em up...

Awe struck by it all

Smitten with the flying monkey

This little girl is still flying high "Somewhere over the Rainbow."

Early Fall Love

From the tastes and seasonal smells...

                       

... to the books, legends, and tall tales ...

 ... to lantern art that lights the night ...

... and birds that take flight ...

Enjoying all the gifts the season brings.  

Happy Fall!

: : : : : A Guest Post From Ella : : : : :

Today, Ella started using an old Nikon CoolPix camera we had tucked away in the closet.  It's fun to see what a three-year-old can capture with the lens...things of interest only to her, at her level.  Quotes are from her.

"I took a picture of my rocks."

"This is Cub sitting on rocks."

"This is my birdhouse."

"That's our neighbor flying in."

"That's a new bamboo shoot."

"I took a picture of the sun's particles."

"That's a pail of nails." 

"This screw can be dangerous, if you step on it."

"Those leaves are just sitting in air."

"Hmmmmmm...reflections"

"That's my lady bug sun catcher."

"This is my self portrait."
