The thought of autumn makes me sigh. After the craziness of the new school routine wears off, I settle into the rhythm of chilly nights and sweater weather. Darkness comes earlier each night, which affords more time for reading, talking and sipping warm tea.
I love fall foliage and outings for lunch with my mom, sisters and friends, choosing Mums and pumpkins for our front steps, making an occasion of visiting by the fire pit, baking apple and pumpkin everything.
Today we all went to observe my dad’s cranberry harvest. More info on cranberries here.

Hope reaching for berries.
What could be better than mud, dirt, grass, vines, water and berries? Let's lie in it! 
Isn’t it a gorgeous sight?
And let’s not underestimate the charm of a good pumpkin lattes.
What’s your favorite fall activity?
Nice seeing you and the kids at the bog this morning. You got some great photos.
Yes, it was good seeing you!
Ah Sarah. You know how to make me yearn for good ole Mass! Cranberry harvest is one of the few things I miss about New England. Enjoy it!
Then come for a visit!
Wish I could! Was trying to get up there in early October, but plane ticket prices are skyrocketing!
I loved seeing these pictures! We went out to one of your dad’s bogs last Oct. and my family from Ohio just loved seeing them! Thanks for sharing the pics!
Love the pictures! What a beautiful sight to see.
Makes me hungry for a cranberry scone and a cup of cranberry tea!
This is one thing that makes me happy to see fall coming. Cranberry harvest makes my heart sing. The bogs are so vibrant when the berries are floating. Thanks for posting more photos. <3
Me, too. I never get tired of it.
