A Day at Cider Hill Farm

We had made plans to go apple picking as the kids had the day off from school. There were a few clouds in the air, well...more than a few and some raindrops threatened our fun, but they held off. Intrepid travelers that we were, for our muddy efforts we ended up having this beautiful orchard to ourselves.

Beauty everywhere you looked. These colors of Fall can't help but lift your spirit.

For years we have picked apples at this spot. It is lovely and if you have even a couple of hours, I highly recommend taking a ride up. When you've had too much of your busy life and the noise in your head is too loud - looking down at this beautiful land on a quiet, rainy morning will unwind the tight spring of life. Take a deep breath. (and then go eat a zillion cider donuts)
