~Packer Orchards Bakery & Farm Place in Oregon and Simple & Sweet Fridays #243~

I wanted to share with you photos of our trip to 
Packer Orchards Bakery & Farm Place in Oregon.
It's located in Hood River, Oregon.
They have a wonderful pumpkin patch and corn maze that our whole family enjoyed visiting. 
The biggest corn maze I've ever seen!!




Established in 1924, Packer Orchards is a fourth generation sustainable family farm located in Hood River, Oregon. What began as a small crop of apples and pears slowly expanded to 100+ acres of apples, pears, cherries, peaches, apricots, pumpkins, corn, and more!




They have a lot of different varieties of pears and apples to buy!!



And of course, pumpkins!!

Our kids loved the fresh apple cider donuts!!
There was a viewing spot near the Packer Orchards to see
 Mt. Hood.
It was spectacular!!

~Fall Orange Wreath and Simple & Sweet Fridays #242~



I love drying citrus slices for Fall arrangements!
I dried oranges, limes and lemons.
I used our Nesco dehydrator.
You can use it for apples, pineapples, etc.
After the oranges were dried, I used a small gauge wire and bent it around the oranges to make a hoop.
I have a pretty crystal wreath,
 we bought at Smith & Hawkins awhile back.
I hooked the wired oranges onto the wreath.
I ended up placing it over our mantel,
 where a mirror is hanging.
It looks so pretty with lights on it.
Sparkle everywhere!!
Displaying a little of Fall in the kitchen.
Stan planted more pumpkins about 6 weeks ago.
We have new ones coming up!!
A new Fall pumpkin patch!
These are some of the ones,
 we grew earlier this year.

Roses are still flourishing in San Diego!
A glass of wine with some fried zucchini from the garden for an appetizer!!
Aren't these pumpkins the cutest!!
They're assorted Belgian Chocolate Pumpkins from
Trader Joe's!!
So good!
