McCall's, September, 1944This weekend, my mister and I will be off on our annual October excursion for apples, cheese, maple syrup, and hopefully a bit "leaf-peeping" (see this post about our swell lunch stop on last year's trip). At the moment, the fall foliage isn't too fabulous in this area. The recent rain knocked most of the leaves off the trees that had already turned, but I must say, I'm still hopeful.
Our autumn excursion always includes stops at Jayne's Orchard, LeRaysville Cheese Factory, and Back Achers Farm, as well as an interesting lunch spot. In past years, we've sometimes just stopped at a roadside rest to enjoy a snack of apples, cheese, and cider. Yum!
One of my most favorite fall things is seeing the asters in bloom. I love the purple petals with the yellowish-orange center. Here's one of the spots in my yard where I have asters blooming even as we speak...
Hope you're enjoying this autumn season too, wherever you may be!

I know where Jayne's Orchard is! We drive by their sign on Rt 6 in Meshoppen all the time. We'll be in that neck o the woods again this wkend. (There's an apple butter festival at Mt. Pisgah State Park near Troy we're going to on Saturday.) If you guys decide to go to that, maybe I'll see you!
Oh, neat that you know the area! Maybe we'll bump into each other sometime ;)
The apple butter festival sounds like a fun day - and it's supposed to be sunny and cooler on Saturday - perfect autumn weather. Hope you enjoy! :)
