Tis the season

Nope, not for Christmas....that would mean that we skipped my favorite season, Fall. Tis the season for picking and canning and baking and eating all of the wonderful things that are a part of this season.

Bread, apple butter and yummy apple blackberry crisp.


B#8 absolutely loves blackberries. If given the choice between blackberries and chocolate, he would definitely choose blackberries. Whose child is this anyway?!?!


And the season for soapmaking. We only made 2 large batches of soap this year, which yielded about 100bars. Not sure if that is enough for our family for a year or not. We shall see:)
We have also been working a bit at a time on applesauce as we pick our early apple tree. We are looking forward to making apple cider again this year from our other two trees. Don't you just love fall? What is your favorite season and why?

What a neat post. I'm encouraged to start doing "fallish" things. :) I wish we could have picked blackberries this year... I think there's still a few on our road, time to send the kids to check. :) I think I'll go make a few pies (apple and peach) today. (hugs)
