Fall Time

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this time of year!

It's harvest time for the vineyards. My dad will disappear from our lives for the next couple of weeks as he works himself to the bone to get all his grapes picked. Then he will sleep for a few days, and all will return to normal.


The apple crop this year has been amazing too! The best in decades as the old farmers will tell you. The apples are huge! They are vibrant in color! They taste delicious, and thankfully, I have as many as I could ever want!


The weather has been hot! The poor kids are stuck in classrooms while the temperatures soar to 90 degrees. Everyone looks to west to see if the fog is coming in soon. The dog just lays around and (if it's even possible) is lazier than usual. The kids are grateful for a scoop of ice cream after dinner on nights like these!


Soccer practices are held in the evening, because we still have light, but the temperature is better to run around in.
Sigh.
I. Love. Fall.
