Autumn is one of the great seasons. I love the changing colors of the leaves and the gradual decline in sunny days. Living in Michigan.. we complain a lot about the ever-changing weather, but as much as I complain.. I wouldn't want it any other way. The brisk air today reminds me that I'm on my way to the second half of this pregnancy. The baby will be born in Winter. We're on our way.

The first thing I thought about this morning as I stepped onto the front porch was visiting an apple orchard soon. It's one of my favorite things to do in the Fall; cider, donuts and picking out a pumpkin or two. Mmm.. and that brings me to another favorite - making pumpkin seeds just before Halloween. Ooh, I can't wait!
