"Every leaf speaks bliss to me, falling from the autumn tree."

I love fall! Here in New England, the foliage is incredibly gorgeous, and every year I am in awe of and grateful for the beauty that surrounds me. There are also so many fun things to do this time of year! Apple picking and a trip to the pumpkin patch were at the top of our list, and we had a blast!

 

Traditions

I love fall, the holidays and holiday traditions! There's just something about this time of year that makes me so happy: the leaves changing colors, the smell of chimney smoke, snow, Christmas lights, spending time with family, all of it!

Apple picking is one of my favorite fall traditions. We pick way too many apples and then make: apple sauce, apple brownies, ozark pudding, apple pie...you name it! It makes the house smell great and tastes even better!

This year was even more special because my sister, husband and I took my cousin's 10 month old daughter with us to the orchard last weekend, to start the apple picking tradition with her! It was cold and she wasn't really into it at first, but once my hubby picked her up (she loves him!) she was sooo cute and I like to think she had fun!

Enjoy the photos :)
