There are two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other, wings.

Fall is here!

Miss Independent and Little Miss
October 2009
Okay, so it's not officially Fall until Tuesday, but it's close enough.

I was sorting through old photos today and came across this one from last year. We were living in Maryland and drove way out into the middle of nowhere to a pumpkin farm someone told us about. It was a drizzling day, but we figured all was well. However, when we finally arrived at the farm we were crushed to find out it was closed. It was a Chevy Chase Wally World moment for sure.

We kept driving and ended up at an Amish Farmer's Market. Despite the rain, we enjoyed picking out fresh fruits and vegetables -- including a couple of pumpkins -- as well as some yummy made-from-scratch cookies and sweet breads.

Anyway, reflecting on that day was all I needed to put me into a Fall State of Mind. I'm looking forward to things like:
  • The State Fair
  • The girl's birthday party
  • The leaves changing colors
  • The pumpkin farm
  • Lower temperatures
  • Caramel apples
  • Trick-or-treating
  • Pumpkin Pie
And so much more!

It's just about my most favorite time of the year. How about you?
