Love Apples
The girls helped pick them from the tree of a neighbour. We are especially grateful because our tree had no apples at all this year!

The Dragons came out at sunset, admired the apples and flew off to celebrate…

We all wish everyone a happy Autumn Moon, and hope that the goddess Chang’e and her pet rabbit will bless us all, allowing us to see beauty and love.

As always, it’s a delight to view and enjoy the celebratory days with you. How wonderful you were able to get that trug of apples from your neighbor. This year, our pear harvest is making up for the lack of apples we too have experienced.
Our neighbour has several trees, and offered us the apples. We were grateful!
The apples are gorgeous! I was gifted some apples from a friends tree a couple weeks ago, and last weekend I made tons of apple sauce.
Apple sauce is one of my favourite things to make with apples!
Same here!
Happy Autumn to Hittys and humans enjoy the moon cakes. The dragon must have ushered in the rain 🙂
Chinese dragons are watery creatures, so we weren’t surprised about the rain!
I bet the moon cakes are delicious and so glad that you and the Hittys got to enjoy your neighbor’s apple harvest!
Moon Cakes are an acquired taste I think – but we like them (and so do dragons!)
I had never heard of mooncakes but Wikipedia has enlightened me. I love the dragon in your window. It seems strange that the same mythical creature figures a lot in both Chinese and Welsh culture. Chinese ones are long and skinny and Welsh ones chunkier but both are often red. Enjoy your apples and your cakes and make sure the Hittys don’t eat them all.
The Chinese dragon is a good guardian at our window. He might get along with a Welsh one – they would probably have lots to talk about!
A bunny seated on a thread spool! Delightful. It looks like a wonderful, celebratory time.
