Farm Stands Make Great Stops in the Fall

First and foremost, I want to thank each of you who wrote yesterday to congratulate me on the birth of my little granddaughter.

It was so wonderful to read all of your comments!

You know, blog friends are the absolute BEST.  I feel like we are a kind of big, extended family. 

When things pipe down a bit, I'll be able to get back to everyone.  In the meantime, I hope each of you has a terrific weekend!

The  little angel's birth was the best birthday present I could ever have received! Yep, my birthday just happened to be the day after she was born!

Okay, well, here's a post about a cool place to visit!

Going to a farm market is fun any time of year but especially so in the fall.

Everything is colorful and abundant.

There's a place in Western Massachusetts called Whitney's Farm Market.

(If interested, you can check out their fine website here.)

 We've had quite a few posts about it lately because it's such a fun place to go.

Don't you just love to see those basket hanging from the rafters?

Just for the record, I don't know a single soul at Whitney's and I don't get paid to write about the place.  It's just  one of my favorite spots to visit.

Inside there are delicious fresh baked goods including tender and flaky cider donuts. The creme cheese bear claws are delectable, too, (even if one can take only a bite of one.)

Of course you can always opt for crunchy apples instead of the sweet stuff.

This past visit, I noticed some very different jam combinations, made by a company in Vermont. Yum yum

BY THE WAY, WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FLAVOR JAM?
