I also love the big, bright stars twinkling in that deep, dark blue Texas sky.

Homegrown in Western PA, but transfered to New Mexico, I so miss my colorful foliage! Thankfully, my family and I will be relocating back to the Eastern part of PA in a matter of weeks! I hope I get to see just a snippet of the fall I grew up with. But to answer the question,...my favorite memory & what I still do every year, is make mulled apple cider over the fire (adding a "touch" of burbon for the adults)and sticking a cinnamon stick in a big mug....It's SOOOO GOOOD!<br />JenniferJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03561872384835769813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164782854241221207.post-69614164972025585952009-10-07T06:04:15.105-07:002009-10-07T06:04:15.105-07:00Thanks, Kate.

I'm hoping that after it melts, we'll still have some beautiful fall colors on the trees. That's the thing I love most about fall - the trees.

I snuggled her up and put her on my back in one of those carriers (can't remember exactly what they are called) and raked away; the motion must have been quite an enjoyable ride for her.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180243708565855383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-164782854241221207.post-3813240009697352212009-10-04T17:28:09.272-07:002009-10-04T17:28:09.272-07:00Oh, that apple orchard sounds amazing!
