It's that time of year again! Time to pull out all the Fall decorations to put around the porch and mailbox. Cornstalks, hay bales, punkins, mums, indian corn, a wreath for the front door and the scarecrow that gets more laughs than he does frightening away any of the crows!
The leaves are already starting to turn colors and fall from the trees and there's always a nice breeze blowing them across the road and yard. On my way home from work last night, I saw two adorable kids playing in a big pile of leaves their Dad had just raked together and I had to smile as I watched them fill their arms with leaves and throw them up in the air. So cute!
It's time to stock up on apples for pie baking, and the ingredients for a nice big pot of vegetable beef stew with cornbread. Time for hot spiced cider in the evenings! Time to pull out the boots and flannel shirts and to put an extra blanket on each of the beds.
It seems like just yesterday we were roasting in 90 degree temperatures and eating snow cones, and I know the cold Winter rain and snow will come way too soon. I wish Fall would last all year, but I know it won't, so I'll just enjoy it while it's here.
