Lovely mushroom soup is bubbling away on the stove, after a chilly, damp day of apple picking for our "new" old cider press. The seckel pears are ready to pick, as are the Airie (aka Hidden Rose) apples. The old dead wood furnace has been dismantled and hauled away for recycling, and the good sturdy Tempwood stove put in its place. Fresh eggs from our bantams are ready for breakfast tomorrow, and we have maple syrup to touch up a cuppa tea.

These are a few of my favorite things...
