For the past several weeks, the local NPR station has been running a "Signs of Fall" series where people write in and share their signs that fall has arrived. http://www.eotsweb.org/blog.php
We thought we would share our own Gray Family Signs of Fall. . .
- Wood stacked up by the barn, all dry and ready to bring into the basement.
- Brother Young coming to do one last cut of hay in our field, with Gavin's help.
- Friends coming to help pick apples from our apples trees. (Like our ladder?)
- Back-to-School night at Lucy's first grade class.
- Finding really interesting gourds for sale at Ellie's Market (with Berit Price!)
- Picking out the very best pumpkins to make into Jack-o-Lanterns at the Pumpkin Party.
- Dense thickets of trees thinning out as the leaves fall to the ground.
- Lots of wonderful dry, crunchy fallen leaves for Lucy and Gavin to stomp through!
