We went to a local harvest festival this morning, put on by a local seed exchange company. It was on a private mountaintop overlooking our town, and it was a glorious day. Unfortunately, I am out of practice with remembering my camera, so you'll have to take my word for it.
Some of the highlights included
*Tucker trying to shake a gourd to help with the live music
*Hot, fresh apple cider donuts (honestly, I've never thought much of apple cider donuts before, but these were really spectacular)
*Tucker running down the big grassy hill like a maniac
*Lots of samples... everything from butternut squash soup to tofu mint brownies and all sorts of varieties of tomatoes, peppers, vinegar, apples...
On our way home, the exit looped through a vineyard where there were several dogs spread out lazing among the grapes. It looked like they were strategically placed guardian hounds (we saw a plastic dog kennel set up for one of them). It was bizarre. Who has ever heard of dogs guarding grapes? To scare off deer???
