Farm Fresh Fridays- Sept 30: Applefest or as I like to call it "candyfest"

THIS WEEKEND WAS THE APPLE FEST

AT COLASANTI'S, THE COOLEST GREENHOUSE PLACE YOU'VE EVER SEEN

SO WE DROVE OUT AND WERE GREETED BY GEESE

LOTS OF GEESE

AND PEOPLE

AND CANDY STANDS

AND WOODWORKING

MMM, KETTLE CORN

I'M ALL FOR FOOD CARTS BUT SERIOUSLY, HOW DO YOU EAT THIS ON THE MOVE

THIS IS BETTER

THEY HAD LIVE ENTERTAINMENT

AND FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON THE KIDS PLAY AREA RIGHT NEXT TO THE LOUD SPEAKERS

THEY HAD STREETS NAMED AFTER APPLES

THIS IS THE SORRY LOOKING FARMER'S MARKET

APPARENTLY THEY WERE ON THE LIST IN 2009

WE GOT BORED AND WENT INSIDE TO THE GREENHOUSE, WE DIDN'T HAVE TIME FOR SKEEBALL BUT ARE GOING BACK

AND PLAYING MINI GOLF WHEN WE DO

IS THE PLACE HAUNTED OR IS IT JUST ME, DO YOU SEE THE CREEPY THING HERE?

THE LIGHT IS SO BAD AS EVERYTHING WAS GREENISH FROM THE GREENHOUSE

SO MY PICS SUCKED BIG TIME

SEE...GREEN PEOPLE WAITING FOR DONUTS

I ASKED PERMISSION TO TAKE PHOTOS AND THEN PROCEEDED TO EMBARRASS MINI-ME MORE THAN I EVER HAVE IN HER WHOLE LIFE

CUZ I GOT REALLY CARRIED AWAY IN HERE

AND KEPT STEPPING IN FRONT OF PEOPLE WHO WOULD SHAKE THEIR HEADS AT ME

WHILE I TRIED TO EXPLAIN I WASN'T A TOURIST, I LIVE 20 MINUTES AWAY

LOOK AT THE DISAPPROVING LOOK, OR MAYBE SHE WAS CAMERA SHY, SHE WAS SUPER NICE THOUGH SO I SPENT $30 ON CANDY BUT ONLY $3 ON APPLES, HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN AT AN APPLE FEST?

WE WANDERED OFF AND WERE GREETED BY A PROMO FOR THEIR HAUNTED HAY RIDE

WHICH LOOKS SUPER SCARY

SO WE'LL GO SO I CAN EMBARRASS MINI-ME FURTHER WHEN I BURST INTO TEARS  AT THE FIRST SCARY THING

WE WANDERED OFF AGAIN AND LOOKED AT THE TRINKETS THE GREENHOUSE SELLS

AND THE PLANTS, YES THEY DO HAVE PLANTS AND NOT JUST CANDY

THEY ALSO HAVE A PETTING ZOO WHICH WE DID NOT GO IN THIS TIME CUZ I DON'T SHARE CANDY WITH GOATS

THEY HAVE A KIDS AMUSEMENT AREA

THEN WE DROVE HOME

AND SAW A FLYING SAUCER

DOESN'T MY ROAD HAVE AMAZING MATURE TREES

THE NEXT DAY WE WENT TO A FLEA MARKET

THIS LITTLE STORE HAD WATKINS PRODUCTS ON DISPLAY FROM BACK IN THE DAY WHICH CAUSED ME TO SQUEAL AND EMBARRASS MINI-ME

SERIOUSLY NO IDEA WHY I TOOK THIS SHOT

OLD BUILDINGS THEY USED AS SCHOOLHOUSES AND STORES BACK IN THE DAY

I THINK I'VE TOURED THIS PLACE A GAZILLION TIMES WITH THE KIDS SCHOOLS

I MAY HAVE EMBARRASSED ONE OR BOTH OF MY KIDS IN EVERY BUILDING AT SOME POINT IN TIME

QUITE POSSIBLY MY OWN MOM WHEN SHE WENT ON MY FIELD TRIP WITH MY CLASS BACK IN THE DAY

CUZ IT'S WHAT I DO

I DECIDED NOT TO EAT HERE IN CASE IT UPSET MY TUMMY

PEOPLE SHOPPING

  

COOL SIGN

BORING PARKING AREA

HORSEYS, SERIOUSLY YOU KNOW I ALWAYS STOP FOR HORSEYS

AND RANDOM PICS OF NOTHING

JOT DOWN THAT NUMBER IN CASE YOU NEED A TOW

THE BUILDING. SOMEHOW I NEVER GO IN HERE, NOT SURE WHY

WE WERE GONNA STOP HERE BUT I WAS WORRIED ABOUT MY TUMMY

YUP, IT'S A MUSEUM

WHERE THEY HAVE FLEA MARKETS AND I EMBARRASS MINI-ME

FARMER'S MARKET FINDS FROM PREVIOUS DAY

SEE I BOUGHT SOME APPLES

AND PEACH JUICE

AND THIRTY DOLLARS WORTH OF CANDY

THESE WOULD BE THE CANDY APPLES I SWEAR GAVE ME FOOD POISONING

  

IT DID NOT STOP ME FROM INHALING ABOUT 10 OF THESE

 Hope you enjoyed our trip to the apple fest. I have to say I was somewhat disappointed in the lack of apples and apple fun. No apple bobbing, nary a pie in sight. It was dismal and a big old bummer after out St. Jacob's high. But we had fun anyway. We always do.

On a side note I went out for lunch with a friend and ended up sick yet again. I think it was the soup. Let me warn you folks, if the soup is not scorching hot then send it back. You would think I'd learn. I have wicked IBS so I am hyper sensitive anyway, but soup that is not heated enough is dangerous stuff. I should know better. I ended up having to stop at Petsmart on the way home after pain and sweating and feeling like my body was on fire. Not fun. Let me just say if you are a local fan and ever need any tips on good loo's to use or not use I am your woman. I can advise you on all the good ones, the hidden ones, the ones where you will feel at home. My life is a pain in the a**. Literally. Lol! IBS blows, food poisoning blows.

 Toodles and smoochies. xx
