NOVEMBER…when nature’s colors get richer, the weather gets colder, and the days get shorter. We enjoy the coziness of home more…scented candles, hot cider, warm blankets, and pumpkin bread fresh from the oven. We look forward to Thanksgiving and gathering with family and friends.

But freshly-picked apples are always a treat, and these rustic organic apples came from my friend Alisa’s farm…from a tree planted long ago by her Grandpa—the apples from this tree are enjoyed every year when autumn comes around.
Happy Autumn to you!
