A is for Apple

Photo-A-Day #1311

Today we went to The Big Apple, no not New York. The Big Apple is a farm near us in Wrentham, MA. It is a working apple farm with apple cider, pies and fresh baked donuts. Allison and I decided that we needed to get some apples so that she could make applesuace, something that Eva loves. Also, Eva is a huge fan of fruit, she loves bananas (great), apples, peaches, pears and many others, I even picked her up a mango or two at the store today.

The trip is a quick one so we had time to sit on a bench and watch Eva attack and enjoy an apple. Allison made a tiny bite to get Eva started but once that was under way Eva had no problem powering through the rest, skin and all. While Eva ate I took photos of her, I think I should contact the apple growers coalition or something and see if they need a new posterkid.

Something really odd is going on when I try and write a blog post on The BenSpark. The Custom Field section is in a constant look for blog author. This only started happening after I imported 1797 posts from my wordpress.com blog to The BenSpark. Those posts came from my Blogger blog originally and I wonder if something got switched on and made this perpetual loop.

Either way I cannot write a post on The Benspark first. I have to write it somewhere like here on Utterli and then post to my blog then I can edit the post. It is so strange. IT works fine for my Photo-A-Day posts because I write an Utterli post first anyway but I usually write something completely different for The BenSpark. Of course I just realized that I could have written the top part on Utterli and the rest in WordPress. Oh well, live and learn.

Today we took Eva to Adam’s Farm to play int he pumpkins. I was very surprised to see so many people at the place. I think maybe we went at a later part of the season the last time we went to the farm. Actually we went earlier in the season as I just checked the photo gallery. So this was the first time that we took Eva. We let her crawl around and play on the pumpkins. I got some nice shots of her having a good time. We also got some goat food and fed the goats and the calf. The goat food was in an ice cream cone. As I was feeding the goat the cone was bitten in such a way that it pretty much exploded in my hand. I jumped.

After that we went over to our friend’s house for Chili and S’mores. Allison made a white chili with chicken and our friend Amy made the traditional meat chili. We also had little corn bread muffins, oyster crackers, cheese dip and nacho chips. It was a very tasty evening that was finished off with some S’mores Nachos.

Also at dinner I showed my friend Ryan my iTouch and he had just gotten one too. then one of Allison’s friend’s boyfriend showed us his as well. We compared applications and had some geeky fun. I even showed them how to add a blog to the Home Screen, especially one with a Blog Icon. In between we played Guitar Hero on the Wii. We did the Guitar Hero 3 version and the Aerosmith version as well.

Now it is getting late so it is time for nighty night, sleepy sleeps.
