We decided to go for a ride yesterday to take in the beautiful Sunday afternoon by driving over hill and dale to gaze at God's creation in all its majesty. The many trees in all their beauty of reds, oranges, and golds was breathtaking. We didn't just waste gasoline, though, as we had planned to go out to the Brookfield Orchards where they sell all kinds of apples. Brookfield Orchards is famous for their apple dumplings, pies, breads, cookies, and all these items are made on their premises. They have other items for sale, as well, including cheese, fudge, maple sugar candy, even penny candy [or what used to be penny candy]! There is their little "country store" where they sell books, kitchen gadgets, cookie cutters, pottery, baskets, relishes, jams and jellies, apple cider, and so on and so forth ... many things too numerous to mention.
On this Sunday, the orchard was giving wagon rides around the property, there were crafters who were selling their wares, and they even had a three-piece band to entertain the visitors, who came in droves. The orchard is open year round, including the snack bar where one can purchase sandwiches, hot and cold drinks, hot apple dumplings with ice cream ... m'm, m'm, m'm!
We poked around here and there and, as usual, I found cookie cutters to add to my already plentiful collection! Do I need one more cookie cutter? Not really. I have several and in all different sizes. Some were given to me by others and some [most] I bought myself. Why are you rolling your eyes up at me? I make great sugar cookies and gingerbread men ... ask any of my friends and family ... they LIKE my sugar cookies! Have a theme in mind? Just ask me!
So, we ended up purchasing two 1/2 peck bags of apples, Macouns and Pee-Wees. Then we drove back home and I just couldn't wait to tell you all about our little adventure and I know how happy you are to have read it, here!
