It’s Beginning to Look Like Autumn

Betsy's Decorations. October, 2007.

It’s starting to look like autumn at our house.  The leaves (and nuts) are starting to fall from the trees and the sky is a gorgeous blue.  We don’t have a great deal of color yet — I’m not sure how good the color will be this year because of our drought.  But either way we will soon be knee-deep in leaves.  Such fun!

And it’s even starting to feel like autumn — the nights are down-right cool (and the sleeping is great!).  We haven’t had a fire in the fireplace yet, but I suspect that it won’t be long before we have one.  There’s something special about a roaring fire on a crisp cold night!

An autumn tradition at our house is the decorations Betsy puts out — pumpkins and scarecrows.  The picture above was taken last year and this year’s decorations are very similar.  So please drop by — you’ll see Betsy’s scarecrows and pumpkins and perhaps even some smoke rising from the chimney.
