Fall is Coming

Looks like we are heading for Fall, today it was 38 this morning, raining and watching the brown and yellow leaves falling off the trees.
.
We have been busy running back and forth to Doctors, going to the Doctors with the daughter as she gets her new Pace Maker, this one she has is 13 years old.

.
.
We lost a young Police Officer, I never worked with him or new him but it is so sad, he left a young wife and 2 children, he worked out of my old area, Hudson Avenue.  He was answering a call to a family dispute and shot before he could draw his weapon.  Just listened to the news and at the New York Pennsylvania border a Pennsylvania Trooper and several Troopers were shot during shift change/.

. It is coming cooler temps, and they are making Cider, and it is good, a little tart until they start to press Macs and Granny Smiths and Northern Spies then the cider gets sweeter.
.

. Free sample of fresh pressed apples, delicious and it can be frozen and when thawed tastes just like fresh.
.

.Anna Mae sorting apples just in from Mexico, New York apple farms, she is picking out some nice Macks for homemade apple sause.

Good to see the alert. nice to have family in, looks like a great crew.

SAD and so young, the police officer. I would never hazard to guess what you guys felt 'at times' while wearing the badge. I am sure there are lots of good times, the comraderie and just friendship, but one second (or less) all is gone.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the officer and his family.

But I do love cider and apples. I have gotten hooked on the Empire Apple for eating. looking for the fall crop to make the rounds.
Love to you and the sweet one. From North CArolina... jack & Sherry.
