Lemon pie

This is a trail near us that you can ride all the way to Tech. Joel and I had taken a bike ride when the leaves were changing and it was absolutly gorgeous, so I thought I'd go for a walk with a friend and take pictures then. It was a big suprise to see that the majority of the leaves had fallen off but it was still a pretty walk.

I love zesting lemons with this zester. The kitchen smells so good.

This is what we do at the bakery & it looks so beautiful. My pie was a little larger. I forgot to buy a pan at the store so I used one of my glass pie dishes which turns out to be a lot larger.

Joel and I dug in before it had time to cool. Big mistake, it got a little runny so we put it in the frig and "patiently" waited. Boy was that hard. Actually this is Joels favorite so he was the one that had a hard time waiting. :)

The bakery is starting to pick up in our Thanksgiving prep. I only get Thanksgiving day off :( and I'm holding my breath on how busy we're going to be for Christmas. We've already started making cute Ginger bread boys (sooo cute) and a interresting looking bread that I cant pronounce.

the Bakery!

Here is the bakery that I work at. My parents came to the bakery the weekend they came for the apple festival. They came in and took pictures of where I worked which was kind of funny. If you look behind the door there I am making cookies.

On this side is where the fresh bread and breakfast & lunches are served along with some good coffee choices.

This is where all the really yummy stuff is. More frest bread, pastries, desserts to die for.

So now you get a little look into the bakery that seems to be blooming and as the holidays quickly approach the busier we will be getting. If you're ever in town look us up, I'd love to see you.

Apple Fest

The night before we left for the orchard we looked at the weather which wasnt very promising. They were calling for rain and very cold and yucky weather. The closer we got to the orchard the next morning the prettier it got. Thankfully it was just cold which we were all prepared for. I had long sleeve shirt plus 2 coats on for this trip.

Joel stayed pretty busy when we found the nice big juicy apples that just happened to be at the top of the trees.

Joel and I caught up with Mom & Dad who happened to be sampling an apple. We tried one and oh wow were they delicious!!! These apples were so juicy and had the best taste, not something I've found in the stores. We never did find out what they were.

We had such a great day! Mom & Dad left with 2 bushels of apples and a few extra items left from the locals.

Joel & I left with 1 bushel of apples and full tummies.
