The turning colors of leaves, bonfires, the sweet, sentimental aroma of fall, corn fields golden ripe, listening to the wind roll and dance colorful leaves down the road, brisk afternoons watching Husker football while eating popcorn and candy corn, and playing family football at halftime.

Going to craft shows at the local high school with my aunt Darla,
apple pies, roasting marshmallows, heading to the yard with my family
and raking leaves into piles higher than your head!
Pulling the boxes of "fall decor" from the attic and beautifying our house, visiting the Nebraska City Orchard and picking apples, sipping hot cider, "harvest" scented candles ablaze in the evening, racing through corn field mazes with siblings, selecting the best looking pumpkins from the pumpkin patch to decorate with and use to make delicious pumpkin pies,
and last, but not least...hay rack rides at dusk.
There are so many memories and things to love about fall. God has given it to us to enjoy.
Can you think of your favorite things about this beautiful season?
Please share with with all of us by leaving a comment. :-) This should be fun!
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,
and comes down from the Father of lights,
with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.

Curling up in front the fire on a chilly night with a good book and big mug of apple cider!
ReplyDeleteWalks in the evening enjoying the beautiful colors of the trees and sunset.
Raking leaves with all my siblings who then jump in them and spread them all over the yard and we start the process all over again....what would we do without the little ones to make us laugh?:)
Digging out the sweaters and scarves...
And, of course, time spend with friends and family in God's great outdoors before being sent inside for the winter.:)
A looooong time ago, we would take lots of walks in the leaves that were along side of the road under the huge oak trees. We would all be "quiet" so that we could hear the leaves and who could walk the loudest.
ReplyDeletePlaying soccer and football barefoot.
Soccer on the tramp.
Caramel apples.
Apples, apples, and apples!
Scaring the flocks of birds out of the trees.
Northwoods. Great times!
I love fall, thanks for stirring up memories (and for the beautiful music!)
I miss you already;)
Hmmm.......
