Fall in the Vineyards

Ankeny Hills Vineyards

South Salem, OR

Autumn has hit the vineyards and grapevines. All of the harvesting is done for the season and all that is left is for the leaves to drop and the wait to taste whether the crop was a tasty one. I unfortunately (or fortunately) have a very low tolerance for tannic acid and have an adverse reaction to wine = big, fat headache. I am left to only admire the scenery.

Autumn is upon us. The days are shorter and cooler. While touring the town for today's image, I saw my first gaggle of dusky geese on their migratory path. Pumpkin patches and corn mazes are popping up all over Salem. Tree tops are turning fall colors and leaves are starting to fall all over my backyard. Even Buddha seems at peace with the leaves falling around him.

Apple Harvest

Haury Apple Stand
5733 Silverton Rd. NE
Salem, OR 97305

It's apple harvest time. Just in time for baking apple cobbler, canning applesauce and making Halloween caramel apples. Haury Farms is a family owned and operated fruit stand that grows 42 different varieties (Wow!) of apples. I walked away with 25 pounds of Pinovas.
