It was 85 degrees today, and though we were rather hot, it is so nice to have a late summer! I love it!! Glad you are enjoying good weather as well.<br /><br />Your apple butter sounds good. My mom made and canned some apple sauce this year. Like you, I kept my help in the peeling and coring department. It's a good job.<br /><br />The tea for ten looks wonderful! They do have a lovely yard, and I like how they planned their gardens for many seasons. I think I should have planted two more of my usual late summer flowers--marigolds and dahlias. I am sort of missing them now, but I was delighted to see my one of my irises (Which usually only blooms in the spring) is blooming again! What a wonderful surprise. And my red and purple salvia are trooping still trooping their colors gorgeously. I rescued them in the late spring/early summer when they were on sale at a local store...and am I ever glad I did. They're making sure it's a decision I never will regret.<br /><br />Love your shots of the river. Thanks for posting this awesome update.
