Autumn Nostalgia

Fall is in the air. Today is a beautiful sunny day. Slight breeze, mild temperature. Autumn always makes me nostalgic. I remember when my children were small and this was the time of year to buy new clothes and send them off to school again. And then the leaves would begin to turn lovely colors and before we knew it they covered the ground to be raked up or blown away.


Autumn Memories.

Remember the pure joy of a beautiful, sun kissed fall day when you raked the leaves
And your small children watched in delight as the pile of leaves grew to tower height .

They ran down the slope as fast as they could, squealing and jumping into the big leaf pile
Burrowing deep into the brown, red and golden days of autumn.



What are some of your favorite Autumn memories

I love how the new coolness makes one want to dig out the sweaters and drink hot chocolate.

I love the rustling sound made by my feet as I wade through a thick carpet of fallen leaves. I have been known to walk out of my way just to be able to do this. :-)

Autumn....my absolute favorite Chancy. I have so many nostalgic memories of fall. Going to football games, the gorgeous colors of the leaves, hanging out with friends, Halloween and all the decorations. I just love this cool, crisp, taffy apple time of year.

I love the colour of leaves, the smell of roasting chestnuts and the sound of my feet walking in dead leaves

I especially remember one year when the family went on an easy hike into the mountains and we found a lovely old maple tree in all its golden glory. We lay down on the lawn below and chatted as we looked up at the blue sky through the leaves.

We're not quite into the season yet, cooler and rainy, but the leaves -- if they change at all -- won't show for another month. How I envy you guys with the spectaular displays!

My best memories of the fall season have to be the fresh crisp air, the fantastic colours in the Quebec country side and the wonderful apple pies that my mom baked for her family of 8.
