The rain that neglected us throughout our beautiful summer has arrived to claim its rightful autumn place. Thus, with yesterday being the only clear day in nearly ten, and the only one forecast for another ten, we gathered boots and sandwiches and camera gear and headed north to the fertile Skagit Valley, a picturesque and bucolic land of red barns, organic farms and in spring, acres and acres of tulips.
Our first destination – Jones Creek Farm, to pick (but mostly photograph) their fields of over one hundred varieties of heirloom apples. Met by frisky dogs and smiling owners bearing hot apple cider, we found the farm was a portal to a time machine, whisking us back to childhood romps through abundant orchards filled with caramel colored light and the scent of windfall apples enveloping the air.
The beautiful images accompanied by your descriptive words truly took me along on your adventure! Thank you for this dear friend…
Thank you, dear Kristi! It was the kind of day I know you love. It would have been wonderful to have you and your lovely family there with us! – g

Oh my goodness, my mouth is watering just looking! Love the soft, vintage processing, Georgianna. Beautiful! :)
Such gorgeous photos Georgiana! I love your style.
Thanks so much for your comment on both of my blogs! Personally, I'm leaning towards coming back to Blogger … it's just so much easier than WordPress and no spam! ugh!
Can't wait to read about your visit to the pumpkin farm!
