Mmm, Fall,
my most Favorite time of year!!!
Love the crisp mornings
and the cooler daytime temps.
Time to add some of those
rich golden harvest colors to my
home decor.

I can't wait for the leaves
to turn colors.
I love to hear the rustle and
crunch when I walk in the fallen leaves.
And I love how they smell;
so earthy and fresh.
Have you visited an apple or pumpkin farm yet???
I'm looking forward to taking a trip there
in the next upcoming weekends.
I've yet to get my usual pumpkins,
corn stalks and big straw bale to
decorate the entry and front yard.
Then I'll get my scarecrows out of storage
and string up some orange lights.
Oooo, apple cider donuts!
and who knew Casey's has the absolute
best pumpkin donuts with cream cheese icing!
Next weekend is the annual
Autumn on Parade in Oregon Illinois.
I'll be there shopping the 200 or so crafters' booths
and of course Sunday is Parade Day.
We always look forward to the Jesse White
Tumblers and the South Shore Drill Team performers.
But we have to get there before the
Oregon Methodist Church Ladies run out of their
famous Apple Fritters, YUM!
After strolling through hundreds of
crafters' booths on a sunny but cool fall day ..
Sitting back along the parade route, amidst the sights, sounds and smells...food vendors with their kettle corn, pizza, nachos,
brats, tacos, pork chop sandwiches and more...
the parade going by... marching bands, shouts and cheers, sirens...
Munchin' on Piping hot fritters rolled in powdered sugar
all sticky and gooey and finger lickin' good,
...Oh, ya!!!! I'll be there!
