Fall Follies

There's nothing like a road trip on a fall afternoon. It's not so good if it's raining, but what else have we got to do on a rainy Sunday afternoon?

Guess what I'm having?

Our drive to Cornhill Nursery through country back roads was pleasant enough in spite of the rain. A "to go" coffee helped as well as conversation with our friends, Danny and Nancy. We arrived at Cornhill's "Grape Fest" and it was a little damp and cold but soon the weather cleared and the sun came out. We warmed ourselves with a delicious bowl of corn chowder (I had the Jalapeno soup) and a snoop around the "old farm implements décor". After that we were good to take in the rest of the "go -ins on"!

Nancy gazes at the display of antique tools.

Gotta love the display of cow bells!

I'm not sure if it was the sun or the time of day, but all of a sudden things were happening at the nursery! There was apple cider making, music by a live band, and displays of grapes and apples!

This young fellow helped his dad press the apples.

We tried the fresh apple cider and loved it! Ross did a little extra research with the intention of making "hard" apple cider.

Our enjoyable Sunday drive gave us a little education on the variety of apples and grapes that are locally grown. A batch of apple cider or a good apple pie may come of it ..... but if not we had a good day in the company of good friends! Happy Fall!!
