six senses saturday ~ welcoming autumn ~ maiden rock apple orchard, cidery & winery

seeing- this incredible apple orchard that is showing off it’s naturally saturated colors.Amazingly brilliant and beautiful the apples, leaves and sky are a sight to behold.

feeling– warm sunlight and cool, crisp breezes.

tasting- a variety of delectable wines and ciders, apple strudel, crab apple jelly and Wisconsin cheese curds.

smelling- apples, hay and fresh air

hearing- the bright sound of glasses clinking, people laughing and Patchouli playing familiar songs in the tent for the autumn equinox festival.

knowing-

There is something in the autumn that is native to my blood —
Touch of manner, hint of mood;
And my heart is like a rhyme,
With the yellow and the purple and the crimson keeping time.
The scarlet of the maples can shake me like a cry
Of bugles going by.
And my lonely spirit thrills
To see the frosty asters like a smoke upon the hills.
There is something in October sets the gypsy blood astir;
We must rise and follow her,
When from every hill of flame
She calls and calls each vagabond by name.
~Bliss Carman

  1. These pictures are gorgeous. The poem is perfect. I am so thirsty now, after seeing those almost-overflowing glasses of what looked like the nectar of the gods! Nature gave you a perfect day for an apple orchard, and you took full advantage! Nicely done, my friend.

    1. Thanks so much for the compliment on my photos. That means a lot to me! 🙂 I’ve always loved that poem by Bliss Carmen. When you come and visit, maybe we could head over to the orchard again. The wine and cider are awesome! xoxo
