These Are a Few of My Favorite Things...

...about Fall in Maine:

1. Apple picking

2. County fairs!
Maine Maple Day at the Cumberland Fair
My little buddy and I got to spend a special Friday together at the Cumberland Fair
And then the bigger boys joined us the following Friday at the bigger Fryeburg Fair.
Even Ethan's school got into the fair spirit, with a Fall Carnival this past Saturday.
3. Pumpkin Valley Farm.  Love.This.Place.


We actually finished Phase I of the corn "maize" this year.  I think Ethan and I had Phase II in us, but alas, others did not.
So we scaled tire towers instead.
And got our faces painted and rode on cow trolleys.


4. Fall walks
Busting out the blaze now that hunting season is upon us.

5. Running season
Well, we finished and both had great runs - each crushing our PRs from last year.  
And our cheering section was amazing.
 6. Cozy weekends at home.  Soccer on Saturday mornings, football on Sunday afternoons, a couple of big hearty slow-cooked meals thrown in in between.  Puttering, organizing, snuggling, reading the paper, lazy jammie mornings, cleaning up the yard, making scarecrows...
