APPLES

A woman at Hot Mama on Grand Avenue this morning informed me that we're expected to get another inch of snow by the end of the day. It's October and it's snowing. With that in mind, and a cup of hot cider close by, I'd like to revisit the best day this fall.

Last week, on a beautiful day sandwiched between many days of rain and clouds, my dear and I took one of our adventure days to the Minnesota Harvest Apple Orchard in Jordan, MN.

We started our time there with brats and burgers and some hot cider. Our meal was serenaded by this sweet little man playing polka on his accordion...

Then we got lost in their corn maze. It's across the street so we got to take a tractor ride there!

Nate got to touch a pony! This is just a little one, but Minnesota Harvest has a bunch of different horses that you can go for rides on too. Apples, corn maze, horseback riding...AWESOME!

We had a wonderful time and went home with some fabulous wild blackberry jam, freshly made apple cinnamon donuts, 5lb of perfectly crisp apples, and a gallon of Cider. All in all it was a perfect day.
