Beautiful blog

I just found our digital camera so now I can take decent photos of the beautiful fall now that's it is fading.:( This is a photo I took of a friends backyard. It was taken with my camera phone. The leaves are gorgeous, the weather is nice most days. I love the crisp clean air in the early mornings as I drive the boys down to the bus stop. The apple pies smell so good. My friend made one the other day at the church so she could give it to the Elders. All of us thought it was for the baptism after church, so we were really looking forward to it. How sad!
We plan to go apple picking soon.

My Favorite Season

I am so happy it is fall. Boston and New Hampshire in the fall is BE-U-TI-FUL! I love the sun beating down on my warm skin, and breathing in the cool fresh fall air. The smell of pumpkins on the breeze, fresh apples on the trees, golden light kissing the red, green, yellow-gold leaves above my head---just sends me into a feeling of ease and contentment.


Fall Traditions:
I smile when I think of decorating my home and front entry for fall. We have made it a tradition to go as a family to the local apple farms and pick a bushel or so. I then make a Delicious apple-stuffed pastry pie and then take cuts to friends and neighbors.


Each year we attend the pumpkin-pick hayride in October (we usually attend it with the Hudson Area Moms Club-now 3 yr. members).

The boys love that. After the hayride around the corn fields (the corn has usually all been cut down and the field is pretty bare), we get off the flatbed trailor that was pulled by the tractor and do a little Fresh, organic shopping in the big red barn. The boys each make their vegetable of choice pick and of course bring home the one pumpkin that they picked from the field.



I LOVE FALL! It's my favorite Season! The Colors are beautiful, the smells are delicous, the only downFALL (lol) is that it doesn't last long!
