It's been a fun and festive Fall and we are looking forward, as the weather continues to cool, to those hot chocolate mornings, applesauce canning, apple cider evenings and warm fires in our living room. With children, Halloween always brings an excitement you feel in the air all October long. How wonderful it is to experience the joys they contribute. How empty life would be without them. I'm taken back to the memories of my own childhood and the amazing traditions I remember. That one house that always gave those mega candy bars, the dentist that always gave a new toothbrush, and the faraway house that gave us hot cocoa packets we couldn't wait to get home and put to good use, dipping our glazed donuts as we warmed by the fire and a spooky movie on T.V. Ahhh, the joys of Fall! Farewell for now barbeques and fans, hello apple pies and pumpkin treats, hay rides and visits to pumpkin patches! There's something great about each season...wouldn't you agree?!

Yes- I would agree. I am a Fall person and not just because it is my color. I love the smell of wood smoke in the air and the sound of crunchy leaves underfoot. I wish it would last longer. It sure is beautiful.
