Picking up the Pies

With it being Thanksgiving weekend, I made my habitual foray into the hamlet of Ashton yesterday to pick up two apple pies at the Ashton United Church. Although they usually hold this bake sale three times a year. it had been my first pickup since last Thanksgiving. For logistical reasons, they didn't run the sale last Christmas, and for weightloss reasons, I didn't make an order at Easter. While I am still  👀 my weight, I am no longer trying to shed more pounds, so I was very pleased to make this little pilgrimage once again.

As you are about to see, it was an overcast day, but some colour remained on some trees, so, of course I took a few photos. 

I hadn't taken this route into Ashton for some time, so the greeting on the silo was new to me. The steeple of the church where we obtain the pies is to the left in the distance.

I have shown pictures of the church more than once in the past, so I didn't photograph it yesterday. However, I did click on a little cluster of colour off to the right of the above photo. While the image could have used somewhat better light, I still found the colours to be very pleasant to view in person. I hope that  the pleasing, subtle colour comes across in the image as well.

I made a little detour on the way home to photograph trees beyond a cornfield in still overcast but still pleasant appearance.

I dropped the pies off at home and hit the stores for new phone accoutrements. I needed a new connector to use the phone in the car as well as new ear buds because my old ones won't work on the new device. I think I have endured 4 different apple connections over the years, and my supply of old cables and connectors continues to grow.

I also picked up a bottle of red for the festive weekend. It's a Canadian wine that makes a statement apropos to the unfortunate political climate: Don't Poke the Bear. I wonder if there is an Elbows Up wine as well.
