This weekend is the Hickory Apple Festival... it's also been raining like crazy, so I bowed out.  Instead, after dance we went to the local orchard and bought from their storefront.  Since we got home I have been working on apple sauce (regular, cinnamon, and strawberry) and an easy apple crumble.  I still have a bag of honeycrisps for eating and an extra bag of golden delicious -- which are particularly delish.

Hopefully next weekend will be nice - I really do not want the Houston Pumpkin Festival rained out -- especially the Halloween parade.  Have I mentioned I love this area and all the activities around here?
