Morning commute. Morning sunrise.

Picking apples before the birds do. Going to make applesauce and dehydrate some apples too.

I have been picking and preserving fruit this week.  Making syrups, sauce, and jelly.  

I visited a sunflower farm and Von Bergen Country Market in Hebron IL this past week.   There were several large sunflower fields and mazes plus a corn maze and country market.  

Picking wildflowers in the middle of summer is always a treat. Got to wear long sleeves, even though it is hotter than all get out.  Otherwise, the bugs and weeds will bite and scratch your one's skin. And when there is more than enough flowers and herbs, drying them is always an option.
