Don't you love the sights and smells of fall? There's a place in the outskirts of my hometown called Linvilla Orchards. Their trademark was their big octagon barn. When you walked in that place the smell of the cooking apples, pies and mostly candy apples made you swoon. The ancient barn burnt down a few years ago and they have since rebuilt it. Makes me want to go there again!
I appreciate you taking the time and effort to leave a comment. I will try to answer any questions you have. Please note due to Blogger changing word verification so almost nobody can read it, I have had to change to no word verification and only allow registered users to comment.
I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently.
During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings.
I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Sandy.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'd like my slice warm with cream, thank you, Zoey. I'll be over soon.
ReplyDeleteThey look like Chrysanthemums at the Country Shop, and were they apples in the bags? Such big bags. What sort of apples are they?
