It's been another busy week and September has come and gone in the blink of an eye.
We had an apple orchard tour with our homeschool group during the week. The kids (and Moms) learned about the different varieties of apples and how they tell when the apples are ripe for picking (when the seeds turn black; just in case you were wondering).
:-)
The tour guide told them about quality control; firsts, seconds, cider apples, animal apples and the ones you just throw away. The kids were all fascinated with the machine that sorts the apples in sizes and in the end we all got a taste of homemade cider donuts and some fresh apple cider in which to wash it down.
Then, dear son had his weekly swimming lesson...
and after three LONG years...
HE IS FINALLY SWIMMING ON HIS OWN!
You should have seen the smile on that boys face! He just beamed with delight!
And so did I.
:-)
This afternoon was the first day the sun decided to show her face and we took a little walk through the neighborhood...
to see what the change in seasons has brought for us to explore...
the Sedum is in bloom and full of gorgeous color...
and we visited with an old friend to say hi and see how she was doing....
She's still weathering the storms.
I've been working on something fun on the crochet front and I'll share that with you in the next day or so.
Until then...
