The weekend was lovely. An early morning drive to New Jersey found us happy and bleary-eyed. We spent the night in a cabin on a White Tail Deer Farm all bundled in soft bunks. Saturday morning upon arrival, we deposited our bags and climbed into a wagon filled with hay bales, to be pulled by a tractor to the local apple orchard, where we waded through the tall grass to find the perfect apples. Afterwards, pumpkin cheesecake and graham cracker ice cream with sweet apple cider. There was skeet shooting (which I chose to forgo in deference to gun control) and then before dinner, we crouched with corn husks and fed deer out of our hands. This morning, after a heaping breakfast we reluctantly climbed back into the car and came back to the city to begin another week. The joy remains though. Fall is here!
