Miss American Pie

Well I had to do a follow up on the apple orchard. Here's what me and Daphne did with the apples. Ahh fall is here. Apple pie.

Picking Apples

I discovered a free apple orchard in Redding and we've gone twice already-the historical Camden House at Whiskeytown Park. Here's Daphne at the entrance to the house.
Behind the house are several old apple trees. Some varieties are 150 years old. And they are free for the picking!
You can also go on a hike while you're there. Behind Daphne is a barn. We also saw the old grave yard and tenant workhouse.
Here's Holly picking some blackberries on the hike. Yum!
If you live in the area, I highly recommend this place. The kids will love it, and you'll walk away with a bag full of apples ready to be baked, boiled and bobbed for. But go soon... the apples are falling fast. Don't let the bears get them before you do!

Sunflower

Our sunflower has finally bloomed!

Can you believe this came from one tiny seed?
