 Over the weekend, my family & I took our annual apple orchard, winery, and cheese factory visit to one of the local towns (2010 visit here - not sure what's going on with the formatting). Although we didn't actually end up picking apples we did buy three 1/2 bushels: Empire, Spartan & Honey Crisp (my favourite). Apples didn't have a good growing season so they found it was taking people twice as long to actually pick the apples so we decided not to pick. I also tried a new type of apple or new to me at least, called Cox Orange Pippin which is big in the UK and New Zealand. It was delish and something different with a bit of a bite to it.

 

There are some other photos at the winery and the cheese factory. The winery is such a nice place; this year they were growing a bunch of different varities of trees like Temple Orange Tree (pictured above), Meyer Lemon Tree, Olive Tree, Fig Tree and a Pomegranite Tree. At the cheese factory they were sampling certain types of cheese - I love the Maple Cheddar so I usually get a block of that and Dill Mozzarella. I don't really eat much cheese but both of those are delish!

 

What are your favourite types of apples & cheese?

Happy 1st week of fall everyone - I hope you are having a fabulous week!

First thing I would like to mention is my amazing new blog design! I always told myself that once I reached 100 followers that I would get a custom blog design - so thank you to all of you for helping me get to that and thank you to Tricia Nae for doing such a wonderful job! Let me know what you think!!

 

Now onto the photos, these were taken a couple weekends ago. My mum & I went to see a Blue Jays game (represent!!) against Boston - even though they lost we still had such a fun girls day out! I ALWAYS love going to Toronto, it's one of my favourite cities. Of course, I had to get a pretzel during the game - I just love them!! I was also so happy that I was able to score one of the polka dot sweaters from Old Navy before they sold out, they only had 2 left in this colour and I almost bought the beige one too!

 

Check out the last photo, somewhat hard to see but some people were out in the red suits doing the EdgeWalk where you walk around the edge of the CN tower which I think would be so cool to do!!
