It was a picture-perfect day for my friend Katherine McPherson and her adorable fiancé Chad.

They were doing more than picking apples. They were also picking memories.

They headed to Lawrence Farms in the Hudson River Valley area where the gnarled limbs were reaching down tumbling the fruit to the ground.

It was a day of harvesting & gathering too, with good friends Betsy & Mike.

I love rituals of friendship & days like this are especially meaningful.

Good friends are people who help you be more of yourself.

And an apple a day & good friends are always good for your health.

While they were picking apples in the Hudson Valley, we were doing the same just outside of Lexington.
Did you notice the empty baskets?

Well, the pickings were slim to none.

But the corn fields were amazing!

The late October sun was drowsy & warm.

Dry corn stalks were clattering in the wind.

It was a good, mellow yellow, ripened day.
