Fall Is Here!

It is so funny how the seasons work in this part of the world! Fall seems to have started just as abruptly as summer ended.

This afternoon Thomas and I about got blown away from the very cool winds while we waited for Gracie to get off of the bus.

Usually Strasburg is so pretty in the fall. Then again it is my favorite season and to me just about any place is pretty. But, it has been so dry for weeks that the leaves have turned brown and crumpled instead of turning those pretty reds, oranges & yellows that I love to see. Which made Gracie's homework rather difficult this afternoon.

Inside Gracie's backpack was a request for examples of fall. This was her first homework assignment and since we live in a townhouse with very few trees, we had to drive to the park. I figured we would have better luck there, but as I said it has been so dry.

We found a few leaves that had changed color and Gracie found some acorns. We also put some berries and a pine cone in the Ziplock bag for her to return to school tomorrow. It didn't take too long to gather all of the items, but it took a while to find signs of fall in this very crispy town.

Gracie of course wanted to stay and play, but it was chilly outside and Thomas still has a runny nose, and our favorite guest was coming over for dinner. So, we gathered the fall things and headed back.

And, while there aren't a lot of color changes to see, mommy felt fall in the air today and opened all the windows in the house and even made homemade vegetable soup.

I LOVE this season!
