Apple Picking

Grandpa Dave arrived in Boston on Thursday night. We haven't seen him since Christmas, so we've been having a great time catching up this weekend! Silas helped him do some work on his iPad first thing this morning :)


The weather looked like it was going to be pretty decent today so we decided to go apple picking. The farm we went to last year is over an hour from our house, so we decided to try Shelburne Farm that is not quite as far of a drive.


We took a hay ride,


And then it was time for apple picking!


And apple eating!


We picked a peck and then headed home with some warm cider doughnuts to munch on the way.

Happy Autumn!

Today Zoe chased the cats until they succumbed to her love and adoration. Today I put the garbage on the curb for weekly pickup and realized that we didn't have any! We recycle and compost far more than we throw away. I am grateful to be able to teach Zoe & Silas these habits. Empty trash barrel Countertop compost bin  Backyard compost bin that we bought at Town Hall Food compost, including the hair from Silas' haircut today! Today I checked on the rooftop vegetable patio garden - it's doing great! Today we went school supply shopping so that I can enjoy the last month of summer without worrying abou...

Silas, 7/26/17

The context for this post is that S&Z started two weeks of daily swimming lessons in the outdoor town pool on Monday. The beginning of this week also happened to start with two of the coldest days of the summer!
