Autumn in PA

It's truly fall back east, which means the leaves are turning brilliant shades just before they fall and carpet the Pennsylvania landscape. To celebrate the seasonal change the Muldowneys went to Penny Packer Mills for a Harvest Festival. Everyone, that is, except for the invalid, John, and his babysitter, me! According to the fam it was a fun activity and they all had a grand old time. The girls had a particularly enjoyable afternoon because they were young enough to pick out pumpkins from the patch. Abe is long past those youthful times. Other activities they all enjoyed were the hay ride, eating cookies and candy sticks, throwing bean bags, seeing a cider press, and watching the old fashion tool used to de-kernalize corn do its thing.

Johnny boy survived missing out on the trip by watching "All Creatures Great and Small" (tv series based off of the James Harriot books - they're hilarious) and eating Sloppy Jose, French Fries, and Oatmeal Cookies. Overall, the 25th was quite a lovely day.

Happy Autumn to everyone!!
