Fall has Arrived

One of the things I truly love about living in Oregon are the seasons. We really only have three, Spring, Summer, and Fall. If we have a Winter it's usually just rain, the occational snow flurry that puts us all into panic mode. And maybe an ice storm where we just hunker down and hope we don't lose power. We've got it pretty nice here. And as each season arrives, I believe at that time it is my favorite season. Fall brings with it an eruption of color not seen since Spring. And apples.


I wonder if Snow White had a fascination for apples as a young child that should have been an indicator that something big may just happen later in her life. Read...DON'T TAKE FOOD FROM PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW! But, maybe she just loved the Fall when the apples would ripen and the smell of pies and applesauce and cider tickled her nose.
