It’s official… apple-picking, pumpkin-picking, cider, bales of hay… It’s Fall! It’s definitely the season I love the most being a New Englander. (If you talk to some people, I do hail from the South, but after being up here for more than ½ my life, I’m beginning to call myself a New Englander. I mean, I do root for the Pats, too – and they need all the help they can get this season – even if it is from a Southern ex-pat!)
I digress.
While I love the crisp air, and the confusion of figuring out what to wear (!), I do miss the summer, and stress about the upcoming winter. I always love the summer because I can watch my kids grow like weeds and not run on a rat wheel with them. Somehow, the busyness of the school year makes the growth less obvious.
Here they are enjoying a summer time “picking” activity - sea glass-picking in Maine, comparing notes on the colors and shapes found. Cheers to the Fall, with great memories from the summer.
