Reap the Harvest

91 daysThis is a good day to experience the beating heart of fall. Picking apples right off the tree makes a delicious activity. Even if there are no orchards nearby, most places have a pumpkin patch or a corn maze within driving distance. Pumpkins can be propped on your porch and cornstalks can be tied to columns or a door frame to give your house a festive fall look.

Countdown to ChristmasToday’s Countdown to Christmas Challenge is to do a web search for a place to take the family where you can experience the bounty of fall. If necessary, call a friend and get a recommendation for some local farms. Pack a picnic (because you know you will most likely run into either lunch or dinner), grab a blanket to spread out on, and head out for a day in the country!

    Love the thought of heading out into nature’s Autumn bounty, but unfortunately Nature had other plans and is busy raining on us rather a lot. Still we had a great Harvest dance at church last night (complete with vegetable bowling) and we went to the Harvest Service today, so that will have to be our contribution to the seasonal spirit. 8o)

    i found a really cool corn maze. but i might need to wait until my daughter is older. but they have a petting zoo. my consumer supported agriculture (csa) farm has a harvest celebration and we get to pick pumpkins and apples! i am ready.

    Great idea! The last two kiddos home are getting a bit old now for most things but now I will make the effort to find something. The picnic is a wonderful idea! Thanks! This is why I joined. Your wonderful ideas not only keep me on track but remind me not to rush through the season…but to make memories along the way!!!!!!!!
