The Orchard and Vin et Fromage (deux)






So the day was a lot like this...

And this,,,






and this.


As Nicole and I headed out to the Orchard with the kids for the day!

All of us riding the hay-wagon to the pumpkin patch...and the kids were even allowed to pick individual apples to eat (after washing) from the orchard!





I found bulk Caraway seed inside the little store for my next round of Caraway Honey Bread...and we got Hot Apple Cider to enjoy around a bonfire as the morning temps had not even reached 60 yet. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...














It was wonderful!
 We ended the afternoon with a Chinese Luncheon and beginning to teach Brenden and Emma how to use chopsticks.

I love "Grandma Rose" time :) It is the very best!


Excited!

Two of the wines have arrived...and the third (the Champagne from Champagne) is en route.

Sampling will begin Monday with the Red, and later in the week the White with appropriate cheese pairings and fresh fruit!

Photos and descriptions at the tasting!  

Can't wait!













Realized that this year how much like James she really is...like two halves of the same coin...and remembering the Year he officially won the Rainbow Head Award.  No wonder they are perfect together.


















And back to dark brown for the Fall/Winter...but when summer comes she says she will definitely be a blonde again.


The girl is fearless!

And an inspiration. She actually has me looking at this seriously...



















The Color is called Salted Caramel.
