My favorite holiday...Halloween!! Going out and doing fall photography. The crisp night air blowing through the bedroom window while cuddled up with my love (once there is a "love" to cuddle with lol)

Time to start putting a second pair of "work outdoors shoes" at the back door.

Is that a leaf or a landmine?
(landmine: pooch poop) ... can't be sure where it is anymore. :(

Autumn
 

Cooler temperatures, summer is too darn hot in Texas.

Lost Maples State Park is beautiful in the fall. Anyone want to go with me this year?

Aside from cooler temperatures, leaves changing color is the best thing about fall for me. There is a scarcity of those kind of trees here in Albuquerque. I want to walk among the trees and hear leaves crackle under my feet. I'm a child of the Midwest and I really miss fall leaves the most.

There are also electric hookups at this state park, so I'm game. Is it worth driving 670 miles?

If sweating was actually reducing the size of my ass, I wouldn't mind so much. Sadly, it's the back of my head which starts sweating now and I can't afford to lose any grey matter.

And on a special day, it's pinon.

Yay! Fun time. :)

Baking...

Fall foliage! That was one thing I did actually love about living in the northeast.
Ah it is the best place in the world to be for that, and I really am a fall foliage nut. Here where I am now in eastern New Mexico fall is not that much different than summer. It is in the 80's instead of the 90's pretty much every day. I can't complain though. Gorgeous sunsets all year round and only a short winter.

cooler mornings and evenings.... collecting seeds.... cleaning house, getting ready to hunker down and cook soups/stews....

I really love her-http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-33HMT61eSQ...rtoon+0004.jpg

Apples
 

Apples... I love them year round, but especially in the fall.

You should head over to St. Helens on hwy 30, heading to Astoria. They are the Original Halloween town from the movie. Watch the movie (pay attention to the landmarks)then head up to see it for yourself in real life. It was one of the things we found out about that little town when we were looking to buy a home. From what we have heard the town square is truly a sight to see during the Halloween season.
