"The heat of autumn is different from the heat of summer. One ripens apples, the other turns them to cider." - Jane Hirshfield, American poet, essayist, and translator
We've had some heat this week but let's take advantage of this great weather! Lots of events are in store, including the final performances of "Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Jersey Lily", fall festivals, and music galore. Don't forget the ABCs of Autumn: Apples, Big pumpkins, Corn mazes... and Cider, too. (OK, we're stretching that metaphor, but let's got with it!) Check out the Farms page on the ExploreWarren website and find a farm or two to visit this weekend. Let them know you found them through Warren County Wanderings, and let us know where you wander by posting your photos on our Facebook page! Wherever you end up, Happy Wanderings!
