yay for crunching leaves


(pictures from a few years ago)
so today I crunched on my first crunchy leaf of the fall season!!!! yay!!!!

and many more to go!


I got some apple cider and a doughnut and a caramel apple yesterday, it just absolutely made my day!

Growing up in Rochester, MI we were surrounded by cider mills, every school field trip in the fall was to one, weekends were spent running around, watching how the cider and doughnuts were made. The past two years it has been so hard to really feel like it was october and november without the cold, the leaves changing and the cider. In Fact, when thanksgiving rolls around, it barely seems like a special day, except that all of us are on the phone late at night or early in the morning, connecting with family. Of course we had a special meal together, but it never felt like thanksgiving thanksgiving.

so not to purposefully quote McDonalds, but I'm lovin it!
I LOVE FALLLLLLLLL!!!!! :-)and I can't wait until next year to spend fall at MSU again, because it is absolutley gorgeous there by the cedar river.
So I hope you get a moment or two to go outside and take a walk and enjoy the changing of the season.
