Finally! Autumn arrives this weekend, the leaves are beginning
to change, and we are heading to the apple orchard. The cider is sweet and the
apples are perfect, and our hearts help get our minds ready for a new season.
Planning, learning, and investigating receive more of our attention—along with
projects around the farm and the need to split and stack firewood to get ready
for cooler weather. 
We have many traditions that have developed over the years
for the arrival of autumn, and a toasty morning fire after the weather turns
cool is a fun one. We also collect gourds, pumpkins, and squash that are the
end-of-season garden picks for Dad to make a fall sculpture down the driveway
to greet our guests. This is a big tradition in our area of the country. People
work on some amazing autumn lawn displays from their produce, mixing in chrysanthemums
and other autumn treasures. It is fun to cruise the country roads to see the
creations.
What kind of autumn traditions do you and your family enjoy?
Come on, share!
Blessings,
Amanda B.
