Fall

Two weeks ago, fall was in full display when we were in Cooperstown.  Around here, we're about to catch up.  In the meantime, I made some lovely pictures in upstate New York.  

Here is my boy, demonstrating his charms.

There were lovely pumpkins.

Even more pumpkins, this time with mums.

I think that mums are the patron saint of autumn.

At the cider mill, there were bins of apples.  We bought a bag to enjoy.

This giant flowerpot made me terribly envious.

Cooperstown itself was really most charming.

We're having a snap of cold this week, just in time for the bulk of the leaves to take on their colors.  Sweaters and fleeces are at hand.  I put on some tights today and set the furnace to come on to ease the morning chill.  It feels nice to tuck under a warm quilt and embrace the next season.
