I love Autumn. It has long been my favorite time of year. We live in Carthage, the Maple Leaf City.
Fall means the Maple Leaf Festival and the biggest parade in the four states.
Fall means pumpkins! A few years ago, my family lived in the country and had a pumpkin patch. I loved everything about it. I loved seeing the baby pumpkins as they formed and grew. I loved harvesting them. I loved selling them and the craft items I'd made. The name Harvest Lane came from our farm, Harvest Lane Farm. I'd been Laura of Harvest Lane online for awhile; so, when we moved to town, we called our home Harvest Lane Cottage.
Autumn is fresh apple cider with mulling spices, chai latte tea, homemade cocoa, soup simmering on the stove, bread baking in the oven, the smells of pumpkin and cinnamon coming from my oven or my favorite candles.
Autumn is snuggling up with a good book while I listen to the rain falling outside.
Autumn is knitting a wheat gold sweater for my grandson.
Autumn means reading a few Christmas books before the Christmas rush begins.
Fall means planning for Christmas gifts, sneaking in a little Christmas music while I'm working, and
creating for for friends and family.
What is fall to you?
Laura of Harvest Lane Cottage
Enjoying my favorite season
Great list of what Fall is! Thanks for sharing Laura!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome Monica. Carpe diem! Seize the day!
DeleteHi Laura, I enjoyed reading what fall means to you and the meaning of your blog name. I also love fall and the crisp, cool days with endless blue skies that we've had for the past week. The relief from the humidity and heat of summer is such a blessing. I enjoy many of the same things you do about the season. Yesterday I made a big pot of chili and cornbread and it was oh, so good!
ReplyDeleteBlessings and hugs,
Betsy
Those are all great6 descriptions of fall. I like the color and the temps - just not knowing what is coming behind it!
ReplyDeleteOh Cheryl, I know what you mean. We haven't gotten our heater fixed yet. We're hoping to do so next month. We've already needed our little space heaters the last couple of nights. God always provides. I'm trusting him for this need as well.
DeleteI don't mind a bit of cold if I get some snow with it. Here in southern Missouri, it's often ice instead of snow. Mind you, I like the snow if I get to stay inside and look at it!
Be blessed, enjoy the day regardless of the weather!
Laura
fall is wearing all the woolen knits!! Lovely list!!
ReplyDeleteAutumn is trying not to step on my neighbor's fallen persimmons (he really needs to harvest them!), smelling the cinnamon brooms for sale at the grocery store, FINALLY getting to put on a sweater, and eating maple streusel bread with a maple latte. My favorite season!
ReplyDeleteOh Antheia, what wonderful things to enjoy this season... except the persimmon problem. ~smile~
