finding fall

Took the annual trip to the edge of the San Bernardino Mountains today to go find Fall... and we did! It was super-cold (like in the 50s ;) at the Oak Glen Orchards in Yucaipa, CA. We visited Parrish Pioneer Ranch, where I stocked up on hot pickled okra (yum!), and found a cute Christmas gift for my Granny at Granny's Attic. Then stopped off at Law's Cider Mill to get clear, delish apple cider in the cool glass jugs, had lunch at Law's Coffee Shop, then went to Snow-Line Orchards for the world famous apple cider donuts (that are your reward after waiting in a 20+ minute line). I also bought a big bag of Braeburn and Pink Lady (the yummy tart ones!) apples there. Once we were appled out, we headed back down the hill (where it was comfortably in the 70s) and hit the Live Oak Canyon pumpkin patch extraordinaire! Found two big, pretty pumpkins in the patch, got all my gourds and colored corn husks for the Thanksgiving table, and got attacked by goats in the petting zoo. It was a super-fun day.. and now I'm going to sleep :)




It's some great pumpkins Charlie Brown!
