Well the answer is easy, for today marks the beginning of my favorite month of the year and the start of 'autumn' in the PNW!! (yea I know it isn't officially autumn yet, but believe me it IS the beginning of early autumn here with cooler nights, mostly nice days and even--possibly--an occasional day or so with showers! Maybe.

So how to best spend the first day of my most favorite month? Again an easy answer! Take a trip to farms & farm stores what else? And so my best friend, "Little Friend" and Little Friend's sibling and I took off...
-
At the first farm, I ate my first apple of September 2009, picked just seconds before ....SO good (really good obviously since there's no photo! Munch, munch!) But here is a photo of the apples my best friend picked while we were there.
Have I said how GREAT that apple was? How perfect it was? Oh yea, I guess I did:) And looking at these right now makes me think of how good they would be in a cobbler, pie or just baked with some spice and a bit of caramel maybe.
-
-Besides the wonderful apples, I also saw some great green plums, a couple of BIG beautiful sunflowers, purple cabbage, BIG tomatoes and more! Plus I (and my friends) had a great time visiting with the family who lives there! I LOVE farm families!
-
Then we were off to our next mission--peaches. Because pretty soon peaches will be gone for another year and I had to get some. We actually went to a couple places to look at peaches and yes, I got a box to bring home (and some other goodies too). I intend to conduct a couple experiments with them:) Really!
-
-Apples, plums, peaches, berries, corn on the cob, sunflowers, cooler nights, farm stores and farms. Some of my most favorite things about early autumn and September in the Pacific Northwest!
-
How did you spend your first day of September?
Hope it was a good one for you!
Blessings, Aimee
