In stereotypical Vermont fashion, we spent Sunday afternoon apple cidering with friends on their mountainside property. We are near peak foliage, so we enjoyed an autumnal palette of color and a sunny day roaming in fields, rocking in hammocks, pressing cider, and munching cider donuts. Weekends like these reinforce why this is exactly where in the world I want to live with these children of mine. This life! Feels like a fairytale – and a delicious one at that.

^^Taking after her Doda with that tongue – whenever she works hard or concentrates, it exits her mouth.^^
