FALL...
the season of glorious colors, chilly breezes and warm fires...Its that time of year when those busy days of summer are coming to an end and we start to slow the pace and prepare for the coming winter. Its time for football games and bonfires, Apple Cider and pumpkin pie. Its the time of year to bundle up in your favorite sweater..then head to the local farmers market to find that perfect pumpkin. The air seems clearer..crisper and the days grow shorter while piles of leaves in countless yards just wait to be jumped in by rosy cheeked children. The smell of apple cider and pumpkin spice scents the air and thoughts start wandering to Halloween parties and thanksgiving dinners. Fall..Natures most colorful display and my favorite time of the year..... |

 "It can be hard to get the meat out of the tenacious black walnut, but when you do, it's worth the sweet reward." Lucky for you, someone's already done all the work at this small-town festival with lots of good food and crafts. "The walnuts find their way into everything," from baked goods and candy to ice cream and salads. Kids can take to the carnival rides, one-room school tours, and two parades. The majorette and festival queen contests can sometimes get heated, so if you're looking for respite you can browse some of the antique shows.

  The falling leaves drift by the window ...The autumn leaves of red and gold. I see your lips, the summer kisses... The sun-burned hands I used to hold.... Since you went away, the days grow long And soon Ill hear old winters song.... But I miss you most of all my darling, When autumn leaves start to fall...  
September fire |
