The Peach Orchard

 We recently visited the peach orchard. Of course there are no peaches now. It is time for their apples, and they grow a large variety. Here we are arriving.





Felt birdhouses.


A bee & honey section






They had a lot of nice decorative birds.



Remember Tiddly Winks and Old Maid?



These are the wagons to take into the orchard and hold the fruit you pick. Most people put their kids in them!


And their mums & pumpkins were beautiful.

What a beautiful place. I'm sure the peaches are delicious but it looks just as pretty without them as well.

The peach orchard looks wonderful, Ginny. That is the prettiest photo of the Purple Mums and pumpkins. And you even used it for your Header, I can see why. You know, they had those red wagons at the pumpkin patch, and so many people used them to put their pumpkins in. I love that you got pictures of the store. That's the one thing I didn't get pictures of, and it was one of my favorite things. Did you buy anything for yourself? This is a delightful place for you to visit every Autumn, Ginny. I loved your post!

Where were the apples? Oh, those pumpkins do tend to take over this time of year.

Looks like a fun place to visit - we have a few places like that around here as well.
