a meadow in the orchard

Oh hello friends!  Today I am so excited to share my newest favourite dress with you.  Super soft fabric, so so comfy, a sweet bow detail in the back, and POCKETS!  It's called the Meadow dress from Shop Apricity, and I am so in love.  I knew that it would look so dreamy in our orchard, and it made all of my romanticized orchard feelings come true.  Let it be known that when I pick apples for real....I don't look nearly this cute.

(award-winning) ginger peach pie

Oh hi friends!  Long time now see.  It was a crazy crazy Summer on the farm, hence the lack of blogging.  But there was not a lack of baking....so we're going to play catch-up for a while!  Starting with this AWARD-WINNING PEACH PIE.

So.  A local farm market (Lepp Farm Market...for you Fraser Valley locals!) had a peach pie contest in late August....and I thought to myself "hmm....I should maybe enter that!".  So I did.  And there were SO MANY PIES!!!  19 to be exact.  Those "poor" judges who had to taste them all...Ha!  Anyway, I made a peach pie for the first time, added some freshly grated ginger, and won 2nd place.  Yahoo!  So so excited...hence the cheeky title of this post.
