Even the cricket sounds pretty chill
Last weekend for orchard fun
We still have plenty of pumpkins for those willing to brave the um, erh . . . elements? If you haven’t stocked up on pumpkins for your fall curb appeal, we can help.
Sunday, 10/29, is our last day of the season so if you still need to get in some orchard fun, now is the time.
Check out our “plan a visit” link for more information on hours, prices, etc.
And, a big THANK YOU to everyone who visited this fall. We really appreciate your support – from those who join us year after year to those who have just discovered us.
Apple Crumble
All it takes is some apples and a few pantry ingredients and you can whip up this bit of tastiness in no time. Recipe courtesy P. Allen Smith.
We can’t decide whether it makes a better dessert or a sweet breakfast item. So, we’ve just decided to go with both! Start your day with this crumble and if there is any left you can enjoy some as your last course in the evening.
Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Apple Fritters
Look at this fried scrumptiousness! Another recipe from The Pioneer Woman. Yes, a theme here, but we are finding that she puts together recipes that no only taste great but are easy. Simple + Yummy = Awesome!
You don’t need special equipment but I used a cookie scoop/ice cream scoop like she suggested and agree that is totally the way to go. My scoop was a bit too large but I only filled it halfway and the results make me think of footballs. A plate of delicious fried football fritters. What’s not to love?
The Pumpkin Haus Rules!
How did this bit of silliness come about?
The inspiration: Simple. P Allen Smith’s Pumpkin House It’s awesome. We tried to find the frame he used but it had been discontinued 🙁
No worries, we are Nebraska Strong! In the midst of the coldest winter in quite some time (last February) Barb suggested: “Why don’t we use the gazebo out front?” That’s the one we built back when we grew strawberries? Booyah! Lightning in a bottle, etc, etc
The build: So, September 17th Jen and Christy (Martin kids/adults) got together to do a bit of decorating. Armed with a power drill, 70 flower pot rings, lots of straw bales, and a boatload of heirloom pumpkins, they got to work. Not exactly following a blueprint, but that was half the fun.
Photo Ops: We had a family approach us halfway through our build asking if they could take a pic. We cleared out the supplies and stepped aside. We figured we must be onto something good. We hope you enjoy!
