Falling in Love With Fall in the Northeast

It is offically fall now and it is time to stack the Dutch Elm that burns into hard hot embers and stack the kayaks today. The barn has been painted and the gardens are slowly fading, I love it. After many years of Scottsdale's Autumn heat I like a fire going while we sit at the long farm table and the chill in the early morning wake up, the coffee smells better when you are wrapped in a robe. The days are still warm and the produce from the farm stands change and the eggs from my neighbor's chickens insure great hearty dishes. This will be the first Oct. in years that I will be around, next foreign destination is Belgium in Nov. and a week at Cozy Cove, Maine in early Oct.I am hoping Max will head up for a few days also. I tend to get more productive once the season changes, more peaceful also. The changes in seasons are a renewal and reminder that time marches on, I love a parade!
