Autumn Colors in New Hampshire and Vermont, and Alysons Orchard

This was just before we had little Ryan

November 26th is drawing nearer. I can FEEL it, it's harder to get around, energy spurts lasting a lot shorter periods of time, getting crampy more. It's all good. I still do what i can. 

The foliage here in the Eastern United States is gorgeous this year so you guys can suffer thru another of my pic blogs. HA!

These were at Alysons Orchard, as recommended by Chef In A Box. Wonderful scenic orchards!

Grapes

My nephew, Gavin..he's a doll!

I didn't do it, i swear!

This place is a couple towns over.. never had their ice cream...don't know why???!!! Their flavor of the week was pumpkin Spice. Tastes just like homemade pumpkin pie w/ real whipped cream. A new addiction...

Well, it's over for now. Hope you guys enjoyed the colors.. and if you didn't  to heck with ya!

Comments loved!

White Mountains of New Hampshire, pumpkins and turkey, OH MY!

Here is an old blog from my MySpace blogs.. I thought I would share some photos of the White Mountains here in New Hampshire.

I don't think we stopped once all weekend. The cold season is coming and we've been trying to enjoy all the foliage and sunny days while we can.

First stop, White Mountains.. haven't been there since I was a kid.







Sabbaday Falls.


The Basin.

The Mount Washington Hotel. It was sooo majestic!


Starving to death, we hit one of our favorite restaurants for this time of year. Hart's Turkey Farm in Merideth, N.H.  I'll tell you what, when you order  the giant turkey platter for $20, you get one hell of a platter!  I ordered the filet mignon with broiled sea scallops :))) Didn't want to wait long enough to snap a pic.


Sunday was apple picking at Wellwood Orchards in Springfield, V.T. I know we were already there this year but i wanted a diffrent type of apple than Macintosh.( they were really soggy in apple crisp, boy was i pissed!) So we picked up Honeycrisp. Of course we hit the freshly made doughnuts and hot cider, maple sugar candies (sorry your kids didn't like them Cary :(((((((( )



Do the funky chicken???? Or bad hair day???

Pardon me... do you have any Grey Poupon?






No, i'm not done yet, today we went out for breakfast.. what a treat, i ordered the Heritage Eggs Benedict with ham and spinach. The tomato juice was nice and crisp.. all in all a great day, exept we ALMOST bought "wormy" corn from a local grower... argghh yuk!
