Harvest Time

I think my favorite time of year is the Fall, with the earth tones and harvest decorations and the general sense of gratitude. Homes and stores here are deocrated with lots of pumpkins, mums, corn stalks, wreaths, leaves, sunflowers -- I love it. The Canadian Thanksgiving was October 6, and since they have a shorter Fall than we do, they are ahead of us on the West coast. (In fact, John and I have to pick our RV parks carefully now because many are closed for the season. Some have shown us pictures of what it looks like in the winter -- covered with snow!)

I'm including some photos where I tried to capture the fall decor. I missed the "field of scarecrows" in one pasture. I also missed the house with pumpkins above and below every window and roof line all around the house, sort of like we do Christmas lights on houses, only these were hundreds of pumpkins! (I'll probably add more to this posting as we travel around Massachusetts and other New England states.)
