October 22, 2018 Picking Fruit at Shelburne Farm

Well, it’s been a minute since I’ve last posted – but that is because we are so busy enjoying the fall weather that I haven’t had a moment to get my photos and blog posts organized. Fall is my favorite season by far, light coats, crisp air, and of course, apple picking. We have always […]
