It’s so nice
to live in a place that has four seasons. Fall is surely a favorite – my
husband Paul and I were married in a small church in the heart of the Upper St.
Croix River valley in late September so it’s a special time of the year for us.
And I love the changing colors in the woods, cooler temps (no humidity or
bugs!) and that it’s time to bake apple pies! It’s a tradition at our house to
bake apple pies and then deliver them to our grown kid’s homes. The fun begins
with picking apples at the nearby orchard and at the small farm located along
the road to our house. I love mixing varieties and most pies include apples
with fabulous names such as Haralson, Haralred, Connell Red, Fireside, Regent,
Sweet Tango, Honey Crisp and an unknown wonderfully crisp variety from our
friend Earl’s trees. This year, the pie delivery task took us from Blake Lake to
Stillwater to Apple Valley to Minnetonka and then into the heart of St. Paul
where one of our families was attending a play. We left a warm pie on the front
seat of their truck! I’m hoping you have special traditions at your house this
time of year, too!
