Fall is in the Air!

Fall is in the air!!! I get so excited for autumn time!!! There are so many wonderful things that come along and bring with them a sense of excitement and anticipation. Beautiful scenery, changing of the colors, conference time, cooler air for the morning run! ~ Fun music, activities, pumpkin EVERYTHING!!! Pumpkin spice hot chocolate, pumpkin cookies, pumpkin pancakes... harvest time, mine and Clint's birthdays, and Halloween! ~Then bring on Thanksgiving and all the holiday fun! I just LOVE it!!! So, as we jump into the fall, let's bring on the FUN!!!
~Fall decorations!



























~The kiddies at the corn field...















~Picking pumpkins from the pumpkin patch!















~Looks like a good one! ;)















~Hmmm... decisions, decisions, decisions!!!













~This was my first year learning how to can the peaches from our peach tree! (Thanks to my sweet mother-in-law;) After a color and a haircut, we spent a few hours in the kitchen getting going~showing me the ropes~blanching, peeling, cutting, mashing (for the yummy jam we made), filling, boiling, sealing...













~It was an all day and all night project! Here is my sweet husband going strong! I think it was about 3 a.m. when we finally got to bed that night! Ooo and he is my BEST helper! ;)














~After we were all done, we had a couple of dozen jars of peaches, and about 18 jars of peach jam. What a good feeling to have learned and accomplished something so useful and what a pretty sight!













Decorations, pumpkin patches, and jars of peaches and jam... This is the beginning of another beautiful fall season! ~And it's always the season for having fun, learning something new, and being with those that you love! Happy Fall!!!
