leene_chan | Nature-iffic Day!

Today I went apple-picking at Hickory Hill again. It's Macoun time! I heard on the news that because of the rainy summer the apple trees are bearing less fruit but the fruit they do have tastes better. So far I've only had a Macoun but it did taste good! I'm entranced by the pure white inside...^^ We also picked Cortlands that were so big that when we were leaving a girl who was stopping by the store commented that they were huge. There were lots of Macouns on the trees but we had a hard time getting at the gigantic Cortlands. While we struggled to find some this guy, who I'm assuming was one of the owners, came riding by on a horse. He kept trying to make the horse go one way but the horse kept pulling in the opposite direction. I think that horses are among the most beautiful animals out there but there's something scary about them. You can find something human in a cat or dog's face but a horse is in a class by itself. ^o^;....

Inside the store smelled so good, like cinnamon and apple pies and cakes baking. I would love to fill the house with smells like that so that people could come in from all around and feel like it's an oasis. I guess you really have to have nothing else to do with your time...but it's nice to see all these hardened professionals acting like little kids when they smell dessert in the oven. ^_^;....

::wishes she had dessert::

I'm becoming engrossed in Riviera: The Promised Land for the GBA. I've been playing for seven hours and yeah! I finally found a game I like! The only other game I've played that was made by Sting is BAROQUE and I'm pleasantly surprised that despite having nothing to do with the bizarre survival game Riviera does contain quite a few BAROQUE-isms.

I'm trying to finish Kristen's Andean Silk tee.

We bought a new mountain laurel today but I don't want to plant it until Monday night, after those @#$! roofers are gone for good. The shrub they kacked was Carousel and the new one we bought is Nathan Hale. Nathan Hale is going to be much bigger than Carousel. Geh heh heh....
