It’s week 16 of the farm share season-apples are ready at many orchards in my area making it prime time for apple picking which also means fall is right around the corner! Already the leafs are changing colors and falling to the ground-a sure tell sign that here in Canada the nip in the mornings are coming shortly. Which also means soon we will have pumpkins and squash and Thanksgiving (somehow its only 3 weeks away roughly).
