We had a very long fall, which the farmers (and the rest of us) appreciated. But my Wednesday morning walk was in 3inches of fresh snow at 12F, and yesterday's overnight low was just a few tenths of a degree above zero. It's time to hunker down, eat comfort food,and do lots of visiting. After living here for almost ten years, I've come to understand and appreciate culture up here. It's definitely a survival thing.theMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01484800094220282147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706374459042869519.post-77013712794019986962011-11-06T18:48:23.204-07:002011-11-06T18:48:23.204-07:00Hi Mary...

Thanks for sharing the link to your post about it. <br /><br />Yeah, being back in "apple country" is one thing we've very much enjoyed about moving to the Hudson Valley. Colorado's apple orchards were virtually non-existent!<br /><br />Has winter gripped northern MN yet? Our garden is definitely done for the year...<br /><br />Cheers, Petepeterbronskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17048848527195520324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706374459042869519.post-81208674632787768232011-11-04T20:12:21.168-06:002011-11-04T20:12:21.168-06:00Hi Pete,

I have to drive 25 miles for a very small one.<br /><br />I lived for several of my younger adult years, and then again later for 14 months in Madison,WI, whose Dane County Farmer's Market is phenomenal. I tried to capture a little bit of it last spring:<br /><br />http://accordingtothemom.blogspot.com/2011/05/dane-county-farmers-market.html<br /><br />And I admit, I'm a also a bit jealous that you can enjoy an apple orchard. We live so far north, near that little bit of MN that is zone 2on the hardiness maps,that I have to drive 90 miles to find an orchard, and that is a baby one, only about four years old. There are varieties of apples that are nominally hardy here;many people plant trees in their yards. We have throughout the years planted, maybe six or seven trees, but so far the longest lifespan we've had without winter kill is 4 years.<br /><br />I can't wait to see your newly revised cookbook. I'm sure it will tempt me sorely with it's beautiful photographs and artful presentation. I loved the presentation and composition of the cup cakebook.theMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01484800094220282147noreply@blogger.com
