Mini Wheats, Elephants and Apples

October 27, 2010
Random, I know. A little while back I did a series of posts entitled Five Days in this One Beautiful Life and they were truly five beautiful days. Autumn was in its prime, when the leaves were golden, the sun was warm and the harvest was rich. Well lately, in Alberta…and in our lives the landscape has been changing. Winter is coming….has come. Mini wheats scatter the fields, a tea cup is a permanent accessory and we start to prepare for a winter of hibernation. And although the fields are starting to blend into the grey sky there is beauty. I had to remind myself of that today and so decided it was time for another segment of This One Beautiful Life. Today is Wednesday, which means we were off early to PREP. The sun managed to come up before we had to leave but the fog left everything looking grey and cold.
Everyone was warm and ready to play at PREP though as today the theme was, of course, Halloween.
Yes, I dressed Ella up. Take it for what it is…fun.
Last week was the last week for the Fruit Truck, so I bought myself a case of apples. Why? I am not sure. I DO NOT have time to spend in the kitchen cooking up a case of apples but I couldn’t resist. So after a week of feeling guilty for buying them we had an apple day.

We got four pies, some apple sauce and a strudel made. It was a full day and it was beautiful.
