Glimpses

The past week or so, I may have caught a few glimpses of fall...

Like during this weekend's awesome Coatesville bike ride with REB60. The weather was warm, but every once in awhile, we would pass trees just starting to change colors. And what a great route - gorgeous, quiet, smooth, back country roads - with challenging hills thrown in (I hate the first sister!) - including a climb almost Blue Ridge worthy. But watch out, if you blink, you'll miss the boarded-up Coatesville country store, with the scenic overview of cornfields across the street.

And like today, while outside with Fezzy and Buttercup, perceiving just the slightest change in the day's light and smelling the subtle, but unmistakable, smell of the first fallen leaves.

Bring on the crisp ripe apples, unusual shaped squashes, fresh tart cider, weird fun pumpkins, flamboyant colorful mums, big leaf piles and way cooler weather!
