As I was driving home from work yesterday it was windy and the leaves seemed to be dancing across the road.

We had apple cider at my breakast meetings...and apple cider donuts, too.

My mums are in full autumn bloom

I wore my favorite sweater today

Toasted Cranberry English Muffins with a bit of peanut butter makes a perfect dessert.

I love STJ but there is nothing like autumn in New England!

I love fall in Vermont....except it's 25 freaking degrees this morning and yesterday I saw snowflakes flying by. It's just way too early for that!!!

Fall in New England should be the 8th wonder!

YES, I agree! The 2 just go hand n' hand

XIG- I can relate to every one of your thoughts!!
We're supposed to get a "cool" front here this weekend and into next week...oh, I may get to wear sleeves

Back home I remember driving to Acushnet and picking apples, pumpkins, getting corn stalks and mums!
Tractor rides with my son and watching how cider is made...aww the memories of my favorite season!
I really enjoyed making an Autumn display in our yard, but don't really do much down here.

Please post more Fall shots...please, anyone?

Okay, I can just smell the apple pie baking now.

I love fall in New England too. The air smells so crisp and clean. I just went for a walk around the yard in bare feet and it is so nice and cold out there! I am making mulled cider and carving pumpkins today.

X, visiting New England in the fall is on my list of things to do. We're having some cool nights, but still very hot during the day. Looks like we're not going to have any fall. Leaves are dying and falling with no color other than brown. So, I agree, more pictures would be great.

We're heading to Keeneland for a day at the races. I'll try to post some pictures later if anyone's interested. Maybe it will look more "fallish" there.

These gorgeous pictures are reminding me of the year we lived on the Keweenaw Peninsula in Michigan. I never saw colors like the colors the leaves turned! Not ever having a fall like that in So. Cal. I was amazed that leaves could actually become those colors! Keep the photos coming!

Maryanne, THANKS sooo much for posting those beautiful foliage shots. You are lucky to
have such a sight in your backyard!

The 2nd one is just what I'm talking 'bout...
such color and the reflection is awesome!

Your lil' buddy in the GAP sweatshirt is adorable too

Thanks and enjoy the weekend.

GOOOOO RED SOX!!!

Here are a few taken at Walden Pond earlier this week. It wasn't as dramatic as we'd hoped. There are a lot of evergreens and the other leaves weren't as far along as I'd expected. It was still very nice to be out there.

we went for a walk today near our house. here's some pictures I took along the way.

And by the end of all that we needed some refreshments!
