Grammie Evelyn came to visit us and we've spent ten days enjoying her apple pie, fresh laundry on the line and other treats that our busy lives do not allow for every day. At first she had some second thoughts about not packing more shorts (there was a day early last week where it almost hit 80) but since then it's been pretty darned cool. Let's just say that my fleece socks are back to the top of the sock drawer.
Also of note: our furnace is terminally ill. Greg Sivik came by a few weeks ago to put boiler sealer in it to buy us some time, but the end is near. We are praying that it will hold on until Oct 12 - that is when our new friend Eric is going to put in a new boiler and convert our steam radiators to hot water heat. We are hoping to see increased efficiency. Well, what am I talking about? It can only get better.
We went to the
Treworgy Family Orchard farm and enjoyed a brilliant fall day. Noah was a little on the cranky side - single minded about riding on the tractor hay ride - but he did cheer up with an ice cream and pumpkin.

Thanks to Auntie Lisa who took the next three pictures. She and Noah had their own adventure while I fed Eli a bottle in the pumpkin patch.

Grammie left this morning at 5:00 a.m. We all said goodbye in our pajamas - Leslie was going past the airport this morning and offered to give Evelyn a lift. By this time, she should have landed back in Jacksonville, NC! What a nice visit. And she left us homemade applesauce in the refrigerator.
