Fall in New England

Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower. ~ Albert Camus

For me, the quote above is a great, fresh way to look at fall. I am just not the kind of person who relishes crisp fall days, the changing leaves, the brilliant colors, drunken bees, and the cool colors in the air - quite honestly, fall to me has always been a sign of winter. That's pretty pessimistic, right? Sorry. It's not that I can't and don't enjoy the fall, I actually do more and more each year but fall to me just means impending winter. And winter in New England can be long and cold, and is always very dark...is anyone with me on this or do you all love the fall? I'd love to know... :)

So in an effort to capitalize on one of the most beautiful times of the year - yes, I do think fall is gorgeous - we took our boys apple picking, they picked out pumpkins with old and new friends, and my husband even purchased us a canoe!! (Cross that off my life list!)

Here are some of the photos from our weekend:

He may or may not have stolen that apple... shhhhh, don't tell.


Just keeping it real...




I have a thing for white pumpkins...

Hope YOU are enjoying the fall!!! xo, Katie
