My World is on Fire







An Apple A Day

 Our friends had a BUMPER apple crop this year.
We were the lucky beneficiaries of the crop.

 Our kitchen turned into an apple processing machine.
We now have canned
applesauce and pie filling.
We also have
dried apples and fruit leather, 
GALORE!
Not to mention all the fresh crisp apples we ate.

 But 9823897624387lbs of apples didn't prove to be enough.
So, we went apple picking again and

again and

 again!

Did you know that planting a seed from a variety of apple does not guarantee your tree will grow that specific variety?  Grafting is the only way to ensure your variety grows.
Did you know there are over 2000 varieties of apples?
My favorite...honeycrisp!

Family Photos 2015

This was a painless family photo year.




 And this picture takes home the trophy!



The Katester loves that thumb!


 How did I get so lucky?
I am in love with this family life!

A Perfect Fall Day





A Solid or a Liquid?

50 boxes of corn starch + water = a solid and a liquid

Kate and Cabub




A Trumpet and a Violin

Sometimes they sleep with their instruments right next to them.
And then, just when Christian and I think they are asleep,
we hear some squeaky bowing or some horn blasts.
And then we smile.
