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
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.
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
i need to find an orchard out here so i can relive those memories! i’ve always loved the orchard and haven’t been to one in a long time. thank you for reviving the strength of my memories!
I wish you lived closer to me so we could go out there together! I’m sure we’ll go again before the snow flies 🙂 You’re welcome. Thanks for commenting. xo
