Pants, long sleeve shirts, sweaters, fleece jackets... all these items have been taken out of closets and put into our dressers. Temperatures have dropped, apples are being picked off trees, pumpkins are in the grocery stores. Kids are back in school. Hints of yellow, orange, and red are appearing on leaves.
It is becoming autumn, my favorite season of the year. I love the feeling of the crisp, cool air. I love wearing sweatshirts. I love hearing little feet crunch fallen leaves with every joyful step. I love taking my kids to the local apple orchard and watching their faces as they glow with the delight of doing something so simple as picking an apple off of a tree. I absolutely LOVE fresh apple pie! I love hearing the kids talk about Halloween and what they want to be, changing their minds every week because they are too excited to pick just one costume. I love that my daughter ONLY wanted to get Halloween books and cds from the library because she is so excited about a holiday that is over a month away.
What is your favorite season? Does it bring you as much joy as Autumn brings me?

I also LOVE this time of year. The thought of my first Cider Mill visit is a pleasant one.
