Man I love fall! Every year, starting back in college with Bev, I've celebrated some version of "Fall Day." When the stars are aligned, Fall Day actually coincides with the autumn equinox. But usually it doesn't.
In our little town house in college, Bev and I would make a batch of Wassal (hot spiced cider) and banana bread. I'm thinking of one year I was a Big Sister, and my Little Sister was not impressed with our efforts to celebrate pumpkins and the like. Remember that, Bev? I think she just wanted to go to the mall or something lame like that. Oh well.
Last year I celebrated fall with little, tiny Margot and Bob's parents who were in Washington to visit.
But this year, it was wonderful to have my little family back together again. We've actually celebrated Fall Day a couple of times this year! We went to the apple orchard one weekend, and the pumpkin patch another.
Who knows what kind of autumnal activities I'll find for my family to do together this weekend? Stay tuned...
