October 8, 2019 Fall color comes to Apple Valley

It is not at all clear that the Valley where Creekside Farm is located is actually called "Apple Valley", but a fellow over in Buxton has a sign up which says it is and that's good enough for us. Apple Valley is a great name for the area and beats the heck out of "Buxton Bottoms" or "Manning Marshes". These may be more accurate, but Apple Valley sounds better so it gets our vote.

Cell-phone pictures don't give the colors their proper due.
The light down in the valley is pretty great most times of the day when the sun shines through. In the early mornings it usually lights the surrounding hillsides long before it reaches the Valley floor where the Farm sits. This morning we got a bit of a light show as the sun peaked through clouds. Between the Farm's magnificently colored flowers and the emerging fall colored trees all around us, it was quite a nice look.
