Hubers Orchard and Vineyard Again

We couldn't resist going to Hubers again now that it is apple season. We have struggled to find a good apple and now realise how good we had it in the Bay being able to pick our own really cheaply. We did find a place that sold New Zealand apples for $1:99 a pound. For those of you who cannot be bothered doing the maths that is about $1 an apple. We enjoyed being able to pick our own apples again and they were yummy. A friend of Anna-Marie's joined us and it was a lovely day. Can you guess what the fall theme is here? You guessed it: PUMPKINS! They are rather orange which is a change from gray. People decorate with them and at the moment they are everywhere. Last year we made one into soup, which was OK but in America you make pumpkins into pie, fudge, bread, ice-cream and other desserts. These all taste a little weird when you are use to eating them as a savory food. We joined other families in the fall pilgrimage to the pumpkin patch to pick our own.
