We are blessed to live in such a beautiful part of the northwest. Garth and I decided to go for a drive down to Hood River on Saturday. The local farms were celebrating their pear harvest. We invited Stew and Shellie Weed to join us. After a BOGO breakfast at Blue Moon Diner we were off to see what trouble we could find. ;)
Our first stop was at Rasmussen Farms. Stew and Shellie, I still think
you should have climbed on board. (hehe)
The horse was made of moss and wire- pretty cool.
Garth and I.
Inside the fruit and veggie barn. They had lots of different varieties of apples and pears.
And pretty much anything else you would grow on a farm.
I had "tunnel vision" for the Honeycrisp apples. Garth wanted McIntosh.
In keeping with the "pear" theme....who else but.....!?!! :)
Shellie doing a little taste testing at Packard Orchards.
It was fun sampling ones we had never even heard of before.
A totally cool swing (a two-seater) we discovered at our last stop.
What we came home with....
HEAVENLY!!!!
