In the United States and the rest of the northern hemisphere, the first day of the autumn season is the day of the year when the Sun crosses the celestial equator moving southward (on September 22nd or 23rd). This day is known as the Autumnal Equinox.
Ok…there’s the official description of Fall but doesn’t this lovely Image from Arthur Rackham’s (1867-1939)
Illustrations to J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens say it so much better?
And what says Fall better than picking apples? Our trees are loaded this year with apples, last year was a lousy harvest for us but this year we’ve got plenty and a good thing, I just opened my last jar of Apple Butter I had canned two years ago. Time to make some more with help from Grandma’s little helper!
Skyler was fascinated with the food grinder!
My daughter Carissa and her precious baby boy Skyler! Great helpers!
Check out this blog from last year when we made Noodles together.
Nine pints! Enough if I don’t give it all away when I go to California this Friday. I will be gone for five weeks, while Harvey works at Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant in Avila, Ca. I’m excited to be in California again. My other three children live in Bakersfield, CA still, only 150 miles away from where we will be staying. Can’t wait to see my other Grandchildren Stevie and Wade.
I will not be posting for a week while we travel and get set up. We will be staying in our 5th wheel. I hope to bring you a new Mail Pouch Barn that is located in San Luis Obispo, CA. Who know’s what other stuff I will find to blog about?
Hugs,
Margaret
Canning, one of the joys and work of fall. Great shots.
Thank you for taking time out to visit my blog and leave a nice comment. I would love having one of your jars of apple butter. Nothing like home grown and prepared fruit or produce. I am a farm raised lady. That Sklyer is a precious child. That is the best kind of help. Have a great and safe trip. Look forward to hearing about when you return.
