Apple Picking

We went apple picking with Marissa and her sister Joanna at a local orchard. It was a bit chilly but we had a good time. It was the last day of the season to pick apples, and we
made it just in time. They close at 6 and we got there at 5:55.
Afterwards we went to their farm store and got an apple cider doughnut and some of their delicious mulled cider. Janelle had fun holding the apples and also learning the sign for apple. We watched the sun set on the first day of day light savings time at around 6:15, and I took a picture of the full moon. Looking forward to going back in the spring for blueberries and strawberries. It was a beautiful day.

Spring has sprung

Janelle and I have had lots of fun the past few days out in the sunshine. We've gone on several nature walks and have learned about trees, flowers, grass, rabbits, squirrels and colors. We sat in the grass and felt how itchy it makes you feel, and we got to smell different types of flowers. We especially liked the dandelions because they were everywhere. We heard the bees buzzing, the birds singing, and the lawnmowers. She really enjoyed touching the leaves on the trees, (although she did try to eat them). As an added bonus she was ready for nap time after each of our expeditions. :) But best of all, I had the pleasure of teaching her that God created all of these things for His pleasure. Rev 4:11 says Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. Next time we'll take the camera to document our findings.

Boat Orchid

The flower of a Cymbidium Clarisse Austin 'Best Pink' cultivar of boat orchid, one of the most popular and desirable orchids in the world.

I thought this was so pretty. I just wanted to share it.
What an awesome God we serve.
