Apple Pickin and Leaf Peeping!!!

I cannot imagine a more beautiful day than today. I got up early Saturday morning, yes I did get up early!! I took a day trip out to central Massachusetts to a place called Berlin Orchards. It was another beautiful, blue and bright day. I went apple pickin' for the very first time by way of a hayride. I felt like a little kid anticipating an bumpy time in the hay. We were dropped off at the bottom of the orchard and marched up the path to rows of apple trees. I picked a bag full while taking pictures of the area trees and fruit. I enjoyed the sweetest, crunchiest, and juiciest apple I have ever had. I had to wipe the juice from my chin. I was done and made my way back down to the pumpkin patch.
After watching children ride their ponies, i took my pumpkin and my bag o apples and went on my way. I decided to take a ride NORTH and headed to New Hampshire to go Leaf-peeping!! It was peak time for the Mass/New Hampshire area so I took advantage of the time.
Well, I went to Manchester and came back to a small town called Londonderry. I can not explain the deep vibrant beauty of the trees. I found the most brilliant reds, yellows, and oranges. I found small towns and churches to accent the foliage. I took pictures, but I know they won't do it justice. At the same time, they will provide you a small window of what I witnessed. So when they get developed, I will post the pictures.
I sit here and think about the day: the juicy apples, the eager children, the ocean blue skies, the brush stroked leaves and I wonder how in the world anybody can deny God and the art that was created by this gracious being. I was watching a canvas develop into the most vibrant living painting, right in front of me.
I hope to have the pictures soon but until then, go out and enjoy the Autumn of God.
