Decorating for Fall

Happy Fall!

Even though there was summer like temperatures this weekend we got into the Fall spirit by not only apple picking (and baking) but decorating for fall at our seasonal site.

We stopped by the Mountain Greenery in Ossipee NH and picked up some mums, corn stalks, gords, pumpkins, and a bale of hay. Along with some halloween lights and fall lights we are all set for the upcoming fall season at Danforth Bay.

Apple Picking at Ward's Orchard, Madison, NH

Patty came up with the wonderful idea to go apple picking this weekend. I asked the Danforth Bay office information about a local apple orchard and they immediately told me about Ward's Orchard in Madison, NH. This should have been a 10-15 minute drive from Danforth Bay but due to no signs in the direction that we were coming from (King Pine) it took us more like 30 minutes.

Parking was very limited but they had lots and lots of apples. This place was bigger than I thought it would be. Apples were very good as well. Picking on 9/22 they had Macintosh and Cortlands. Next week they will have red and golden delicious.

A 1/2 bushel of apples cost only $12. We had a good time picking apples. Ward's Orchard is definately recommended if you stay in the local Conway, Freedom, Tamworth area.

They had some pumpkins for sale but that was about it.,
