Autumn Activity

The changing of the season means the changing of our activities too.  We recently ventured out to a local antique tractor show to see a "famous tractor." 



Strolling through all those handsome machines, Blossom1 was the girlie to spot the right one. 


Aside from our neighbor's 630, the Blossoms got a kick out of this tractor, redone in Muddy Girl camo.  We just couldn't envision Daddy driving this feminine machine though.  By the time all the girlies are driving and mowing grass, it might be a worthwhile investment, wouldn't you say?


What is more autumnal than apple cider?  We're always sure to grab a gallon because they press some tasty cider there! 


Strolling the grounds and checking out the steam engines never seems to get old to us.  


"Fair food," as I call it, is a yummy treat.  We sampled homemade ice cream and handmade pretzels.  Delectable delights, as we eyed up all the cool, locally owned machinery!


Of course, it isn't a tractor show without some tractor pulls.  That never seems to get old for the girlies.  Our favorite "puller" was a dad, walking beside his 11 yr old son, who was driving the tractor.  This mama yelled extra loud for that kid.


We didn't stay late enough to see the steam pulls this year.  The girlies acquiesced when it was time to leave, but it was definitely under protest.  


In the crisp fall air, we meandered around this double-decker London Transport bus.  


The girlies were delighted to explore it and I was equally delighted to photograph it and them.  


Crisp, leafy notes in the air and pumpkin butter fragrances in my house; autumn is here and I'm glad we're enjoying it together!
