Green Acres apple farm

While my parents were here we went up to a pick your own farm in Greece. We went through the corn maze. My parents chose the correct path from the very beginning. Caleb and I did not do so well. We had tried every other option before we chose the one that led to the end.

Next we tried our hand at picking raspberries. There were so many dried up berries on the bushes that had not been picked in time. We got plenty of berries (especially because Caleb doesn't like them). They are so good and fresh. Now I have to find something to make with them.

We also picked apples- Spy, Red Delicious, Cortland, Fiji, Jonagold, and some others. On many of the trees the best looking apples were up at the top so it took some reaching (climbing-although I don't think you were really supposed to). The apples were so brilliantly colored and nicely crisp with lots of flavor. It was a fun afternoon.

Weekend projects

The past few days my parents came out for a visit. Dad cannot stand to not to be busy, so on Friday, he and Caleb cleaned out the garage. They moved everything and built new shelves on the wall. Caleb also got an early birthday present, a new tool chest, to help with all the organization. In the end it looks great and it is amazing how much more space there is in there. 

While they were busy in the garage, Mom and I kept busy making curtains for the baby's room. We made roman shades for the two windows with green striped fabric. Then we made some sheers to soften up the room. I think they turned out pretty cute. While my parents were still here we also picked out some furniture for the room. The crib is ordered and we brought home the dresser (espresso color). I am excited to put it all together finally. The past few days my parents came out for a visit.
