Nova Scotia is famous for its apple orchards among other things. Every year, we take a day and head to the orchards for apples, pears, and a shopping mission at the local farmers' markets. It's usually in early October, but this year we didn't get out until the 29th: a little late for apples, but we still managed to find a bag or two full!
My husband's son looks forward to joining us every year, and as he gets older, he gets to be more and more of a ham for the camera. His father makes it easy. :)
We were at a different u-pick than usual due to the lateness of our arrival, and on the way out, I had a "stop-the-car!" moment as we drove past the most surreal-looking pond. It was positively beautiful!
And afterward, we made our traditional stop at Hennigar's to find these creatures all painted up for Hallowe'en!
Our last stop, as always, was Kenny's Farm Market: all the freshest fall fruit and veggies right out of the family barn. It's one of my favorite parts of the tradition, and the incredible display of color on the trees outside made it the perfect ending to another gorgeous fall day!
