The Weekend vol. 3

What a weekend it was! Other than a little bit of rain on Saturday morning, we were blessed with beautiful weather over the long weekend. This time of year is so beautiful; it’s like Mother Nature remembers that it’s fall and changes all of her colours overnight. There’s a reason that the quote, “I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers” is so famous – it’s because it’s so true! The views we took in this weekend were stunning.

I picked the most delicious Lobo apples at Pinewood Orchards and used them in a two different desserts. Overall, it was a lovely weekend and we’re sad to see it go. It’s always hard to get back into the swing of things after having an extra day off, even though it’s a short week. It’s a two-coffee day, that’s for sure!
