The Charcuterie Board

We will get to that in a minute...

There is a road in Colts Neck, NJ,

lined with maple trees that always display their fall color at the exact same time. 

It's not far from home and it is 5 minutes from Delicious Orchards so it is a win, win little trip for us.

The trees were just starting to change so we will go back in a week or so.

I have taken some outstanding pictures here.

All of the homes are gorgeous and are connected to farms with horses.

I photographed the horses, they will be my critters on Saturday.

At Delicious Orchards they had these beautiful, hand painted pumpkins.

These are ceramic pumpkins, the designs are very intricate.

They had this for the kiddos to play on.

So what did we buy...

This...

these...

and these...

to turn it all into this...a Charcuterie Board, they are all the rage right now.

When I was younger, we just called it cheese and crackers and we did not present it in this way.

But this is better and the next time I will add a few more things.

I put this together for this first night of "Survivor" don't judge, I am a huge fan.

Walking The Reservoir

 We really enjoy the reservoir which is very close to home.

It use to be a sand and gravel pit. 

When it closed and was abandoned for many years, 

the hubs would take the boys here to ride their dirt bikes.

When Mike was home we went around several times, he loves to walk and I used my zingerchair.

These pictures were taken in early September, during one of our walks.

The hubs is having trouble with one of his knees so he sat on a bench and read.

Isn't it funny how a plant can grow out of rocks?

Our reservoir is so clean and beautiful, they always have people on duty to maintain it.

It has benches, gazebos and tables set up so you can enjoy a meal!

Fishing is also allowed.

This is the "Sunset Gazebo"...

sitting here will provide an awesome view of the sunset.

This is the "Sunrise Gazebo"...

sitting here will provide a beautiful view of the sunrise.

It is a lovely and secure walking path with cameras all the way around.
