"September slipped by into the gold and crimson graciousness of October." Lucy Maud Montgomery
I don't know about you, but September flew by. It is now my favorite month of autumn, my birth month, and I am planning to enjoy every bit of it.
This photo is now so old, that I don't remember if I took it or my oldest daughter took it! I do know it's from one of our maple trees along our creek.
This is a very common site here in Pennsylvania. For many years we went here to get $1 pumpkins. Now we frequent a place close by, and support our neighbors and their produce stand. They also make the best apple cider!
This is a photo of our cottage last year in late October.
I love the autumn.
I know you know that if you've read here before.
Here is a list of some of my favorite things about autumn.

Oh there's more, but I'll stop there for now.
I hope you embrace autumn in all her glory, and I'll see you next week!
