we picked apples
Hello. Hello from Kansas City on the evening of the first day of fall where it still feels like summer. I'm just going to pretend I don't notice and enjoy what the season has to offer. Meanwhile maybe fall will sneak up on me and I won't even realize I'm not faking it any more. That's the last you'll hear of it from me. : )
We picked apples at Red Barn Farm recently with good friends and it was such a nice day. We came back here for a dinner of chili dogs and fruit and cold beers and a cookie cake and a fire outside. I'm glad I took film photographs that day. The graininess and that little something that makes film so timeless- they are making the memory even sweeter.
Well, good night and have a good day tomorrow!

Hi Alicia,
We lived in OP when our girls were little, and having grown up in the Chicago suburbs, I always complained that fall would come so late in Kansas! We had a Halloween in the 80's once! We would always go the the fall parade in downtown OP and would "pretend" that the weather was cooler (as you say!)
But I do remember working at KUMC as a nurse and coming to my car one week after work, my steering wheel so hot I could hardly touch it; the next week it was so chilly I needed to wear gloves!
As they say in KC, if you don't like the weather, stick around because it can change at any minute!

Hi there! I stumbled upon your blog somehow while looking at baby sling ideas. What interesting and inspiring words and projects! From a fellow artist, homemaker, and momma, thanks so much for doing what you do!
