Art and Apples

We had another really nice weekend. The weather has been nothing short of stellar for the past few weeks - sixties and seventies in the daytime, and cold at night. Apparently autumn in Kansas is as nice as summer is terrible. We went to the Kansas City art fair on Saturday afternoon, and walked around downtown drinking margaritas and beer. It was a pretty swanky art fair - pretty much everything was waaaaaay out of our price range (except for the maragritas and beer). Nonetheless, it was still fun to wander around and look at everyone's wares. Afterward, we hung out with some of Aaron's friends from work.


Yesterday was equally un-stressful. I slept in, drank a lot of coffee, read the newspaper, baked a coffee cake, and generally was lazy. It was another gorgeous day, so around 2:00, we decided to actually do something. We drove to Fieldstone Farms, which is about 40 minutes southwest of Lawrence, and picked apples. Winesaps were in full season, so we picked a whole bucket full of apples. I have no idea what to do with thirty pounds of winesaps, but I'm going to figure it out. Mmmm... apples. I brought five apples to work with me today, so there's a solid chance that I'm going to be writhing about with a terrible stomach ache by the end of the day.
