There is something about autumn that makes me swoon every year!
Is it that it's just right for comfort foods like hearty stews?
Is it the evenings and mornings that are cool enough to want to snuggle in blankets with books and hot cocoa?
Is it roadside farmer's markets overflowing with colorful goodness?
Is it harvesting and, my new love, preserving?
Is it throwing on a sweater to run outside in the leaves?
Is it the burst of vibrant color as nature puts on it's dancing shoes and skirts before sleeping the winter away?
I think it could be all these. Today, while I could have been stuck inside canning pears, I took the boys on a 'what makes me smile?' photo hunt. These are some things I loved, with a few at the end for Carson.
Can I say color?
This is what we see driving up the hill to Grandpa and Grandma's house. Some of that is their property, some their neighbors', but it come together so nicely!
One of the trees in Grandpa's woods.
The next hill over from Grandma and Grandpa's place.
I loved that this tree looked like a flame, with the deep red at the top, then dark orange, gold and green going down. Lovely.
Produce stand! The squash was beautiful, the wheat crispy fresh, and the corn colorful.
Carson loves Grandma's chickens and we spent a few minutes taking pictures of them. This one red hen was very brave and wanted to be in every picture! I have lots of her. I wish I'd gotten more of the timid speckled ones. And the rooster. I'll have to go another time with fewer distractions, because the chickens are so beautiful!
