“It is like the seed put in the soil – the more one sows, the greater the harvest.” ~Orison Swett Marden
Living in the central area of New York state, we are lucky to have beautiful fall weather, bright fall colors and apples. Lots of apple orchards surround us.
And thankfully we have one that is organic, meaning no pesticides coating each apple. It is just a half hour south of us on a hill; Adam’s Acres.
A beautiful scenic drive up hill and past a lovely reservoir. A small orchard brimming with apples of wonderful varieties; Liberty, Honeycrisp, Spartan, Northern Spy and Florina. All yummy.
We picked 4 times so far with just enough for the two of us to eat an apple a day. We’ll likely go one more time before they close for the short season of about 6-8 weeks.
Thankfully my garden season continues. There are still lots of container flowers growing, but soon it will be time to compost them. So I thought I would put together a compilation of what is blooming for a couple of weeks. You know about the hydrangeas and lavender from last week-both still going strong.
But this week I grabbed a couple of flowers from a few small pots for a small posy.
Coleus flowers, containers dahlia, marigolds.
All making a wonderful combo.
With this vase, I am joining in with the wonderful meme, In A Vase On Monday, from Cathy at Rambling in the Garden.
