Happy New Year! I’m sorry I’m so late in sharing here. I know that February is going to be over soon and spring is right around the corner. Time flies.

We visited a pumpkin farm, bought apples from a local apple orchard, picked up apple cider donuts, crunched the leaves outside on a family walk, and we’re just generally enjoying the season.

It’s my favorite season, and I want the longer days and warmer weather to stay around as long as possible. I’m not ready for chilly weather and winter…but, oh well! It’ll be here before we know it.
