autumnal blessings.........

When I was a wee little 'lass, to get to my Hungarian grandparent's home, I had the privilege to exit out of the back patio door from my childhood home, and pass through
the apple orchard my father and mother tended upon our land....

some of my fondest memories were walking through the orchard in both springtime amongst the tree's blossoms, but in pure awe of the fruit which this biblical tree bore in bounty for
not only my family, but all who were in a 20 mile radius.....


they would bring crates full to anyone who wanted them~
and I will never forget the excited and proud feeling I had in adoration of my parent's for
sharing our harvest amongst others.......
~as does our dear neighbor Ginny~
our orchard is quite too young yet, but I hope to bless many people with this
well deserved fruit which comes in abundance, faithfully, every Autumn........

Autumn Blessings!!

  1. The trees look like they are bursting with fruit in abundance. Please share any recipes you love, as we will be apple picking at the lake over the next few weeks...

    Hope you are doing well, I hope I haven't missed a post!

  2. I stumbled across your blog....I put your link on my page, I hope you will not mind me sending some of my friends your direction. :)
    I grew up with Apple trees in our hills...my sister and I would explore the hills to find the one yellow golden delicious tree on the property....it was always such an adventure....until we got older and learned about directions and landmarks. :) If I had those apples at my disposal now....I would share them too. :)

  3. Happy Autumn Anne Marie,

    I know when your trees are muture and dripping with fruit they will be the best apples in the district. Full of all thay lovely energy that flows around your farm.

    I'm just dropping in for a quick visit, I'm off to help organise the Wizard of Oz costumes for our town's street parade for Tulip Time Festival that is here in Bowral tomorrow, Saturday. (It's Friday morning here now).

    Have a great weekend.

  9. When we are blessed with this much abundance our first thought should be toward how we serve others. Your servants' heart has added beauty to my day. And I thank you that you share the beauty of your farm with all of us.

    Hugs,
