I saw this lying on the side walk. :( It seems like fall is the shortest season and it is also the most beautiful. If you are looking to take a short road trip this weekend it might be a good time to go to one of our local orchards and get some of those wonderful Minnesota grown honey crisp apples. I went out to Aamodt's last weekend. They have more than apples there, and I may have eaten a bag of kettle corn on the way home. They also have honey crisp apples at the downtown Farmers market. I write this because I love the apples and because I like to buy locally grown food when ever possible. It helps the local economy and from what I have read the food is better for you than the stuff that is hauled in from far away places.
It is also nice to buy fruit that doesn't have a bar code label stuck to each piece. I wish they didn't do that.
The leaves are just starting to turn in this part of the state. To find out where the best fall colors are see the Explore Minnesota web site. They are predicting beautiful colors this year because of the warmer weather and the rain. I will predict that I will be out taking photos. 🙂
I’m a Denver Exclusive Buyer’s Agent, a St. Paul native who’s lived in Denver for the past…hmmm…can’t count that high…years, and I have a Minnesota Honeycrisp apple baking in the oven as we speak!!
I visit Teresa’s site every now and then to check in on my old home town. Loved this piece about fall. It makes me homesick for days gone by. I am coming to visit, though, in early October. Is that too late for fall leaves??

Early October is a great time to visit. The colors peak in October so it isn’t too late and the weather is usually decent too.
