TyPos in the Mountain News!

Thanks to all for your patience.  Yes, I usually do run spell check, but then I made another change between phone calls.

Hummmmm, maybe I should say that I intentionally slip in a few typos occasionally for the attention?  Just to make sure people are reading this news of our favorite Mountain?!  Well, I will try to do better, but not promising things will improve.  Meanwhile, enjoy, and I’ll keep the news heading your way!

Happy Holler in the Fall mist

We have our wood stoves toasty warm the past few delightful days on the Mountain.   Hot chocolate?  That can be arranged.  There is also a price reduction waiting for you at this charming Happy Holler.   Bundle up, and come on up!  Oh, just think!  You could celebrate Thanksgiving this year on the Mountain!  Now, that is a wonderful idea!

Apple Favorites?

 Everyone is invited to bring your favorite apple goodies to share at the Festival this Sunday afternoon!

Let’s see… I just might have a very yummy, apple pumpkin soup in a crock pot.  For sure, I am bringing peanut butter/apple smiles for the kids-of-all-ages to make.  Very fun – be sure to stop by and take away a smile!

Or, how about this one?  Apple Pickin time also means ” Pumpkin Apple Dip”:

1 8oz Cream Cheese
1/2 C. Brown Sugar
1/2 C. Canned pumpkin
1/2 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
2 tsp. Pure Maple syrup

Beat cream cheese, brown sugar, Maple syrup and canned pumpkin until well blended.
Continue beating while adding in Ground Cinnamon. Beat until smooth. Chill at least 1 hour. Serve with apples and Ginger Snap cookies.

What is your fav?  Bring YOUR favorite apple goodies to share!  Here are all the details: http://www.palomarsp.org/  See you Sunday!

Beauty in the Woods – Back on the Market!

For those of you intrigued by the ‘Beauty in the Woods’ over the years, it is back on the market!  It is better than ever now, sparkling clean, and such a nice new view opened up.  How will you decorate?  Where will you put your easy chair to capture those views?  What books will you bring up to your cabin?  Who will you invite to your first ‘cabin warming’?

Just give me the word, and I’ll open the door!

Apple thieves caught on Camera!

 

Oh, I couldn’t resist!  Thanks to Mike Stevens and his trail cams, we found out who has been stealing our apples!

There are quite a few trail cameras set up on Palomar now.  Several of them move around a bit so it is quite interesting to see what they capture.  I’ll have some more pix heading your way soon!
