It still feels strange to me to have to go to an orchard and pay to pick a small bag of apples. I am still used to Utah, where parents and neighbors are begging to have you come and pick some of the excess of their fruit or help them bottle, freeze, or dry it.
We enjoyed the fall colors while were out in central Mass for the apple picking. I love the colors and smells of fall!
We went up to Vermont to enjoy Autumn. This is what we found:
Joseph Smith's birthplace memorial. It was really pretty with nice missionaries in the visitor center to give us a tour and talk about his life and mission. It was inspiring and reminding to be taught about his life and hear testimony of him as a prophet.
If you enjoy colorful foilage in Autumn, then Vermont is the place for you. We loved all of the trees and leaves.

The Road Not Taken...
Here is Robert Frost's cabin.
Stopping By the Woods on a Snowy Evening.
October.
We enjoyed walking out in Vermont and thinking of the poems we've read of Robert Frost. Some of them are so thoughtful. Like The Mending Wall. We love New England rock walls.
Reluctance.
These pictures are from the going away party for the Kahmanns (front center). We had fun with them as friends here and hope to still see them occasionally since they are only moving to the state next door. We'll miss them and wish them the best of luck in Connecticut!
We had looked up places to visit in Vermont, and found The Robert Frost Trail.
It was a pretty short walk, but it was peaceful to walk a small nature trail and read the poems Robert Frost wrote while living in this area. He was obviously inspired by his natural surroundings for his peotry. Not many other people were visiting, as it was pretty cold since it was late in the day and late in the season. It ended up being a very peaceful place. I'll share some of his poetry I enjoyed that was so fitting for our visit there, and it reminds me of my feelings for New England.

We took a Saturday afternoon to visit the DeCordova Museum and Sculpture Park.
We used a library pass to get in. We had a really pretty walk and the grounds were extensive and beautiful. We liked looking through the many sculptures and trying to figure out their deeper meaning, and most of it was very abstract. We visited the museum and viewed the artwork. Some of the art we appreciated, and others, not so much. I think much of the interpretation of art is lost on our math and business minds. It made for a nice walk though.
