Ahhhh, autumn

Such a nice day, rained all night and morning, then the sun came out. Dd and I went on a walk this evening, pushing the baby I watch in a stroller. Went down to the road, the pavement was wet, the smell of pine filled our lungs, changing leaves were rustling to the ground, and the air was cool but the sun was warm in our faces. Perfect. We found some wild red plums, ate some and picked a bunch to freeze for smoothies, snacked on elderberries, then picked some wild apples for apple crisp. Gotta have apple something on the first day of fall.

The weekend was nice, too. Hubby got back from bow hunting camp, then Friday night he took the youngest three to a daddy-kid campout, so the teens and I invited our own friends over, we had pizza and movies and stayed up late. Saturday I froze corn from the garden, didn't expect to get any since the plants only grew to between three and five feet in height, but they all produced.
