Today is the Autumnal Equinox, otherwise known as the first day of fall. Here in Oklahoma you might be forgiven if you didn’t notice that. It was very warm today and not at all fall-like. Actually that’s okay with me. I like early fall well enough as long as I don’t think too much about…
Friday on Apple Tree Farm
One of the unexpected benefits of having a dog is that I now spend more time walking around our property. We don’t have a fenced area for him yet so we take him for walks on a leash – don’t want to chance him running off and getting hurt. I may not be so thrilled…

Once a month my daughter and I go to Norman, the nearest city, to do our monthly grocery shopping. We refer to it as our “hippie day” because we eat at a restaurant called Pink Elephant Cafe and Tres Cantina and then shop primarily at locally-owned, health food type stores. We also drop off our glass…
