It's still fall, right? So I'd have to say attending the Candlelight Processional at Disneyland. I guess that may considered winter-y, so making apple butter, from scratch, for the first time, would be another choice.

We had so much fun this fall making cider. The whole process was joy: finding unwanted apples and picking them, the pressing party, drinking fresh cider, listening to hard cider ferment away, and boiling down a few gallons to make delicious cider syrup. All was delightful!

We've just finished Spring here in Australia (and are heading into the most bizarre Summer weather ever! Think Sunny, Sunny, Rain, Thunder, Hot, Thunder, Rain, Sunny, Hail, Sunny..)

My favourite thing we did this Spring was celebrate a friend's wedding in their backyard - garden party style (my husband and kids were in the bridal party, and I made the wedding cakes). The roses were blooming, the ceremony was perfect.. and then it rained for the reception! But a good time was had by all. :)

We went to an apple orchard and picked apples, milked a cow, watched pig races, and ate too many apple fritters! Thanks for the great giveaway.

One Saturday that was too pretty to waste, we went to a nearby downtown area that has a great walking/biking trail and is connected over the river by old railway bridges -these have been refitted for walking/riding. Then we went out to another new walking trail. Saturday afternoon + my family and me = fun! Then off to try a new restaurant that we now just love!
