Saturday was a perfect fall day for an outing: 60 degrees and sun shining in the cloudless deep blue sky. We decided to go for our annual apple picking. It was the first one for Adit. The orchard that we always go to had apples, pears and lots of raspberries for picking. Ashwini almost filled her tummy with those raspberries.

We came home with a bag full of apples, little pumpkins (for Ashwini’s artwork), cider donuts and jug of apple cider. If every day in the year was like this one, no one would even think of the concept of heaven. Because, it just doesn’t get any better than this.

Beautiful blue skies and orange pumpkins.


A field of pumpkins. We brought home only one of them.
