Soon

(This post written on 9/23/08 is from the old blog I used to have. Complete with the old comments.)

In Up-State New York,

The crisp Fall air will arrive.

Leaves will begin to change to beautiful hues of orange, yellow and red.

Everyone will exchange their summer wardrobes for winter.

Elementary students will be preserving leaves in wax paper.

Grandmothers will create delicious stews in their special Le Creuset french ovens.

Mothers are going to begin dipping candy apples.

Daughters will start baking apple crisp.

Couples should be stopping in at Kelly's Apple Farm to pick pumpkins and watch the apple pressing. Afterwards they'll sit around the fire to eat hot donuts and fresh apple cider.

Some Families may even go to Letchworth State Park to see the beautiful scenes and take some breath taking photo's of their children.

These are just some of the things I LOVE and miss about Autumn back in Upstate New York.

Ummm...o.k., now I want to live in New York. Hey, when our hubbies are rich and famous, I guess we can live wherever we WANT!! He,he,he...Oh, and feel free to copy away on the picture of the guys. I loved the photo too. I'm so proud and happy for them!! The only thing that would have made it better is if it had included their stylin'-matchin'-gold detailed SHOES!!! ha! Those shoes make me laugh so hard. Please tell Jeremiah to do the shoe shopping from now on if they are going to be matchy-matchy! :)

Fall is my favorite!! I suspect it's not quite the same in Texas as it is in the midwest.
Thanks for reminding me that Fall is just around the corner for me. Ah, I can smell it in the air.

Oh you make me want to go for a visit. The fact that Texas only has two seasons (hot and cool) is something Tim and really dislike. We would love to be somewhere with the fall colors and snow on the ground for Christmas. Maybe someday...

I have never enjoyed fall in NY until this year. I always took it for granted and disliked that I was (once again) cold all the time. But after 4 years in Texas, I am thrilled to be back where autumn is actually another season, not just an extension of summer!
