Fall Open House this weekend!!

Goodness this past weekend's temps were absolutely wonderful!! Did you get to go outside and enjoy? We sat out on our porch in the rocking chairs and listened to the windchimes! The dried cornstalks were rustling in the breeze and the hummingbirds are busy eating for their trek south they will be embarking on soon. Early Fall is such a splendid time to be outdoors!!


We have been SO busy this week preparing for our 8th annual Fall Open House starting tomorrow (Thursday 9/15) and ending on Saturday. There are SO MANY wonderful items in the store right now! (I mean even more than usual ;) LOL) We just received our super tasty apple ciders, summer sausage, mustards and more! We will have some delish baked goods and candies available as well!



Now who's ready for a yummy recipe???

This weeks tasty treat is perfect to make for those upcoming pumpkin patch trips!!
