In the meantime I wanted to do a quick photo share of our recent trip to visit family in central New York. What a glorious place to visit in the fall. You hear about New England in the fall (which is really nice) but I have to say I am partial to the abundant apple orchards, wineries and rolling country side of upstate New York in autumn (sure I am biased because like I said I have family there, and I used to live in the Finger Lakes region for a short time).
Here are some photos of the activities. There might be more later on facebook as I realized I don't have all of them on my camera.
First, apple picking-
Apple wine tasting, Beak and Skiff grown and made-
Apple Fest-
Watching cider being made-
Another New York state specialty, dairy cows (NY is currently the 4th top producing state for dairy, that is alot of dairy)-
Pony ride-
He kept asking to ride more so I guess we have to get a pony now.... or teach him to ride pigs-
Attempt at a family picture-
Possibility of a Christmas card looking grim again this year-
We are preparing our little homestead operation for winter. I almost have the garden ready to plant winter rye for a cover crop. More on that later-
For those wondering about house updates, there hasn't been much progress since we spend the warm months working outside. Expect progress throughout the coming months though!!
