Apple Time!




Drove out along the Missouri River up to Waverly today, looking at the turning leaves, the hawks and buzzards drifting along on the air currents in the clear blue sky, watching the farmers harvest their beans, and enjoying the fragrance of fall. Rasa's Orchard was a busy place, and full of people like us, wanting to "pick their apples"-- already packed in bags. Found some Granny Smith, Jonathan (our favorite all-time good for everything apple), and Fuji. And a bag of sweet potatoes, all ready for me to cook for sweet potato muffins, biscuits and hopefully sweet potato pie for Thanksgiving dinner, if they last that long! Now I just need that kitchen elf to help things along as I make the pies!
