  22. Fall is phenomenal. The last of the heat and stickiness is behind us as we leave a wilted and burned summer to move into cool, crisp and fresh autumn days. Cicada droning gives way to squirrel chatter as the evenings grow a little longer. The tastes of fall grow richer as the harvest comes in. I love to see the change of seasons, the perpetual cycle of nature, and fall is my most favorite season of all.

  97. I am always astounded in the beauty of creation when the leaves begin to change color. This happens because the chlorophyll (green pigment in the leaves dies, leaving the other pigments ( in various shades of reds, oranges and yellows) to shine through. I love driving through the forests of Michigan and seeing mother natures pallette of colors.

    ReplyDelete

  156. We always go apple picking and get our pumpkins for Halloween, too. The stores sell fresh pressed cider and apple pies ready for baking. Can't beat an afternoon in the orchard. I live in Washington State.

  172. I love fall because the humidity that the south is so well known for decreases and you can sit on the front porch again in comfort. Also, we have a maple tree in the side yard that is gorgeous when the leaves turn color. The kids don't rake up the leaves any more and jump in them, but the memories are still there each fall when I see the leaves on the ground.

  177. Each season is such a blessing! Fall brings crispness to the air and crispness under foot. The colors are so vibrant and somehow it is cozier indoors with a little fire going in the stove to warm us, body and soul! Be especially blessed, Kathy

  186. Hurray for the chance to win a layer cake! I would love to win. :) My favorite thing about fall is the pumpkins becoming available at the stores.
