The Fall

• Golden and red leaves brighten up the day.
• Great time to go for a walk and wear a cosy fleece, stuff your hands in your pockets & march briskly as you try & hold out for putting hats & gloves on until November...you have to be hardy to live in NH!
• Washing liine drying days are getting fewer and further apart.
• Chipmunks are on overdrive as you hear a constant thud of acorns falling from the trees as they prepare for the winter.
• Pulling out all the hats, coats & winter woollies....gives mixed feelings.
• Putting the garden to bed & layering it with manure that your gorgeous white lab decides she loves to roll in!
• Making homemade soups and stews......hello I'm Delia Smith/Marth Stewart!
• Closing the curtains at night to shut out Jack Frost.
• Testing the generator just incase we need it! We always do!
• Get the cars snow tyres fitted.
• Bring in all the kids clutter from the garden.

There is definetley a sleepy feeling about the Fall as you prepare for the long,cold days ahead of you. I'm tired just reading the few things that I have to do before the snow arrives!

It is almost like hibernating as you set yourself up with knitting projects, grab a stash of books and batteries for the torches.

As we await the arrival of winter............BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
