Fruits of last years harvest....

beautiful sky for an apple picking day

cooking down the apples

God blessed us with a bountiful harvest of many things out of our garden and from our land and others land as they shared their fruit with us

I am so anxious for Spring and everything that it brings.....bringing with it great hope and the opportunity to once again be outside and working. It sounds crazy to most people but I love to WEED and prune my flowers, plants and trees. Spring and Fall are my favorite times of year, if I had to pick one it would be Spring.

It is another snowy day here, the wind really gusting so I popped on to look through last years photos and thought I'd share these with you as I am sure you all as well are anticipating the green grass of Spring.
