Years ago I found out that fall brings the Jewish New Year, unlike our winter celebration. I have adopted it as my start over time too! Because my “on” time with my job is the summer, I LOVE THE FALL! CBS starts, things simmer down and I can have tea with my friends and catch up!! Woohoo!

Fall is the reward after enduring summer. September through December is my absolute favorite time of year!

In reply to Christy. Well I guess I didn't know you as well as I thought I did, then! I had no idea you and pumpkins were so intimately and happily acquainted! I'll remember that! xxoo

Patty said it. Plain and simple. Fall means everything pumpkin, plain and simple. Pumpkin soup, pumpkin pie, pumpkinbread, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin roll and pumpkin twinkies stuffed with pumpkin marshmellow cream. Pumpkin food, pumpkin decorations, pumpkin colors….and on and on. Anyone who knows me understands that I love pumpkin everything.

My mom used to employ that same phrase, Patty. “It sticks to your ribs!” Alas, her prophecy has come true — something is definitely sticking to my ribs as I age! I love the beautiful picture you’ve painted with your words here….I would love photos. 😉

Fall colors in upstate NY are just beginning to show themselves. This time of year means what my Mom would call ‘stick to your ribs food’, chicken and biscuits, beef stews and potato soup, pumpkin everything and hot chocolate!

It also means raking all the leaves and jumping in them, (the Princess, not me) I could jump, but there would be real issues with the getting back up part. It also means that the squirrels are harvesting acorns from the oaks that overhang part of the house and the area where the camper sits. Decorating the front of the house with corn stalks, dried corn, mums, and of course pumpkins! It means my theater season starts and I will be seeing shows regularly. It means I will be knitting more and thinking about knitting less.

I love this time of year; though I am not so fond of what comes after it…..

In reply to Larry. I can imagine how beautiful it is there, Lar, in spite of your yard being a dead leaf magnet. :) I would love to pull up a hammock next to Christy so we could read in silence together. You would have to make us treats and bring them out to us on a tray, every hour or so. xxoo

Hello Sis: In the fall our property becomes a collector of all leaves that no longer hold on 🙁 I have learned that it is important to time my cutting of the grass and triming around all things that are in our yard, to make sure that they are short enough to not catch any of the leaves that are blown about because of the autumn leaves. It is a great tiem saver to keep ahead of the yearly drop. then all just pass on by or over our 5 plus acres of grass (weeds that look like grass when kept mowed 🙂 when that is done, both Christy and I sit back or in her case she lies out in the trees with three cats, and two dogs viewing the colors change with a book in her hands. We are blessed with a hill that adorns the many colors of His Creation putting on a show for us to enjoy after all the grass is take care of. If you can show us the trees and their colors around your new home?
