Day Twenty Five.

    Today was a very good day on several levels. We managed to get up at a decent time and we went straight to go to the apple picking farm. So neither one of us wanted to pick apples but we did want to get some pumpkins and fresh cider donuts. We brought my dog with us and the apple farm was so unbelievably crowed that it was hard to even get a parking spot. I was really nervous when we got there because of all the children being around and scaring my dog but she actually did fine. We didn't end up getting pumpkins because we couldn't get our car close enough to where they were so we got them later on at a different place. My dog was surprisingly good around the other animals that were there too, she met a couple of long horn cattle, a turkey and a goat. It was funny because we got there and within 2 minutes my dog had laid a poop so of course I had to pick that up at the very beginning of the day. It wasn't too bad because I used a big trash bag to pick it up so there really wasn't any contact. I will say I couldn't wait to get back to the care to use some Purel though! The apple cider donuts were good but we both agreed they weren't the best we've ever had.
    The next stop was to drive up to a park in the area and go for a hike. This was another adventure in which I couldn't believe how many other people had the same idea we did. I wasn't sure what to expect with my dog but she thoroughly impressed me with her hiking skills. She was way ahead of us the entire walk and didn't stop for anything even climbing up a massive set of stone steps! She met a fellow Yorkie named Duke along the way as well as several other dogs and got a ton of attention. Almost everyone we walked by commented on how cute she was. It was so beautiful because the fall leaves were right in bloom plus it was nice getting some exercise! We ended up stopping at a nursery and picking up three pumpkins on the way home.
    After we got home my boyfriend made me a delicious "turf and turf" dinner of steak and chicken. He also made these delicious home fry type potatoes with these potatoes we bought at the apple farm. The dinner was just perfect! While he was making dinner I managed to get a load of laundry started. My boyfriend has the day off of work tomorrow which I am glad about because he could certainly use a break.  I thought I did a pretty good job of not being too obsessive about cleaning and washing my hands today. Instead I did my best to just try to take it easy and enjoy my time with my boyfriend. That's all for now!
