I love Fall – it’s my favorite season. I love the cool air, the falling leaves, the shortening days. I loved Fall when we lived in Michigan and I love it here in Seattle. Despite the rain that follows them, days in September and October are some of the best we have.


It’s started raining now, and I don’t know when it’ll stop. But for a while we were in the full throes of a gorgeous Autumn. I told Justin I was nostalgic for apple orchards and pumpkin patches. So, to celebrate my birthday weekend, we went to Jones Creek Farms, way out the North Cascades Highway.


Right out of the car, they served us fresh-pressed hot cider.


Then, one of the owners walked us through the orchards to find the kind of apples we wanted – just one of over 200 varieties they grow.


They even had a "haunted greenhouse" (purely for the kids - it was really lame) and some photogenic scarecrows:



To cap off the afternoon, we took a tractor ride around the orchard with the cutest, sleepiest puppy...



and to the pumpkin patch, where we picked up some gourds to carve into Barak-o-Lanterns for Halloween:



It was a beautiful day on a classic farm. Visit the Jones Creek Farm gallery for many more photos.
