    Fall Foliage

    Hubby and I took a nice drive this morning to enjoy the upstate New York fall foliage.  It was a beautiful sight at Taughannock Falls.

    The Beauty of Autumn

    Monday, October 5, 2009, 05:12 PM EST [General]

     

     

    Don't you just love the arrival of autumn?  Our senses enjoy all the changes around us.  The temperatures have cooled down so we pack away the shorts and get out the cozy sweaters.  Canada geese can be heard honking as they fly overhead in their V formations.  Crops are being harvested and we can smell the grapes as we drive by all the wineries and anticipate the delicious wines.  Apples and pumpkins are being picked and sold at roadside stands.  I love the sound of the leaves scrunching when I walk through all those that have tumbled to the ground and their colors are just magnificent.  It's time for the first woodstove fire of the season and the flames warm my soul.  Wherever you are this autumn, I wish you peace and pleasure.  ~~KayStar

    Thank you Kay for your sincere comment. I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too. I have been guilty of spending a lot of time on FB with some of my red hat friends, but I am trying to get back to QMB1 and QMB2 as much as I can so I don't neglect my other friends. Was glad to hear from you. Hugs to ya Queen Faye
