We started our morning today by using apples to stamp our apple tote bags. They came out nice, and hopefully we will use them in the apple orchard this weekend.
The sunflowers are bending low, ready be harvested.
We laid them out on the picnic table to dry.
Hopefully, we can keep the birds away long enough to dry some for planting next spring.

We made the observation that they are a little to sticky yet to handle. Maybe it will be better in a week or two.
Out in our field there grows a wonderful apple tree. It is very heavy with apples this year. We have been reading about Johnny Appleseed this week to help celebrate his birthday tomorrow. Mark is pretty sure that Johnny Appleseed probably planted this very tree since it was here when we moved in 15 years ago, and that certainly was verrrry long ago.
Mark and Grace picked a few to nibble on today, but in the next few days we will pick more into our apple totes and bring them in and make applesauce from them.
While Grace looked on, Kimberly ate hers,
