Fall activities

I try to make the most of fall before the weather takes a turn for the worse and suddenly I am caught scrapping snow off my car windshield and cursing the dreariness of winter in Michigan. So on Saturday Nate and I went over to Jenny’s Farm Market. We cuddled with the farm animals. A calf tried to eat Nate’s pants, while showing no interest in mine. We devoured pumpkin spice donuts, followed by homemade apple cider. AND! We went on a horse drawn hayride. I would mention how Nate forced me into crawling through the hay maze designed for kids only but I have too much pride to go into those horrific details.

And, because Kroger had a sale on Halloween items I ended up making Halloween themed cupcakes. I’m not an expert at applying frosting but I tried my best.

Slime on top

The green is supposed to resemble slime... Toxic slime.

Halloween themed cupcakes - all of them together

This is a view of all the tiny cupcakes together. (I used tiny cupcakes instead of the regular size because, well, I think they are cuter. And eating a tiny cupcake is so much healthier than eating a normal size cupcake.)

Pumpkin cupcake

It’s a pumpkin! Or is it? The frosting was out of control at this point.

I have photos of Jenny's Farm Market up on flickr from a trip in October 2005. I didn't take any photos this time.
