Dear Sisters,
Happy November from the shorelines! Fall sure is a busy time of year isn’t it? Nesting season hits hard and before you know it you’re in a fall fury trying to get everything done inside and out before Old Man Winter arrives. Thank goodness there are so many wonderful distractions to help us slow down and enjoy the abundance of harvest season. Fall festivals, apple picking, pumpkin patches and corn mazes call us back to the farm and if you’re lucky enough to live in a hot-spot like New England, leaf-peeping is always a must! Get ready. We’re on fire this year! Continue reading

Hi Cindy!
We lived in Sparks too off of Vista Lane for the last ten years before we moved east. Loved it but it’s a different world. The high dessert will always be a part of me… It’s where my ” wild spirit” and love of nature come from. But, New England and the ocean speak to a different part of my soul and I’m so grateful to know both worlds so intimately.
I agree, Reno has grown beyond belief, but it’s still a wonderful place to live, work and raise a family. So much recreation in the Sierra Mountains and Lake Tahoe to enjoy. But the disappearance of small family farms over the years have given way to huge development as you know. But, you an still see cows on McCarran Blvd when you drive by! Enjoy your new country life! Hugs!

I know exactly what you mean….I love the fall… The colors so vibrant and the smells of it strike you down if your driving. I wish thry had pull over sights ehere you coukd get out of your car judt fir a photograph…cant get amy photos when your driving! I love it when I see all four shades…
…red. Green. Crandberry and orange…that’s glorious! I wonder if we will see these same shades in heaven, because there’s no death there! It must be the artist in us that these colors make us so dizzy with euphoria and excitements. Or is it that I’m not getting enough vitamin. D as fall seems to bring on death as well as depression. For me. The colors of fall always excite my brain! Love it, and im going to collect some leaves!
Susans
Hi Susana,
Fall can bring on feelings of sadness for some people. My hubby suffers from SAD ( seasonal affect disorder) but he treats it with medication. I take a prescribed dose of Vitamin D every Saturday to keep my sunshine-y disposition from giving into gray moods too.
You can always have your levels checked at the Dr to see if you’re low. Enjoy the leaves Susana!
Hugs,
Deb
Oh my goodness, Deb. I cannot get over the gorgeous colors. This year I thought our colors in Tennessee were beautiful but they just don’t compare to the New England colors. I’ve got to see them someday.
Your pictures are just fantastic. I love the photo of your Mom – it is beautiful. And of you and your hubby!
Big hugs,
Dori
Well what are you waiting for? I know a great BnB by the sea in Plymouth! Grab Eldon( or Andrea) and come on up for a visit during peak leaf season sometime! We would love it!
I finally got happy about fall! 😉
Big hugs,
Deb
The beautiful trees is what New England and Minnesota have in common. The colors are outstanding. Your family is so nice, and what a cute hubby. The pictures are great. Thanks Deb.
Hi Bonnie! It has been a lovely fall here and I have to agree, my family IS nice! Ha! We are happy to share! Thanks for your note! xo Deb
These photos are breathtaking. The leaves in my neighborhood are not too colorful.
Marilyn
Hi Marilyn,
Well, I’m happy we could bring some fall color your way! Glad you enjoyed the tour. Thanks for your note.
Blessings,
Deb
I love the fall colors they remind me of jewels, God’s jewelry on the trees and sprinkled on our paths. Just beautiful. 🙂 Be BLessed and enjoy fall. Neta
Howdy Neta dear! YES! God’s pallet is amazing! Blessings to you and yours. Nice to hear from you!

Hi Deb, I too have enjoyed the show this year, here in NY. Just spectacular. Words can’t describe that rich colorful beauty. Congrats on taking some great pix of it!!!!
Hi Laura,
I’m glad you are getting all this fall color in your neck of the woods too!
Hugs,
Deb
These are such beautiful pictures! The changing of leaves seemed to be a bit behind here this year as well. Now that they have changed I just can’t seem to get enough! We recently took maternity pictures and the background was those beautiful colored leaves. I haven’t received the pictures back yet so I am not sure how they turned out.
Our old house had a large tree that would lose tons of leaves in the fall. I miss this so much. There is something so wonderful about spending time outside with the crisp weather raking up leaves and then letting your dogs crash through them! I feel that fall time brings many memories and bonding opportunities. Thanks for sharing such beautiful pictures of your fall fury.
Hi Krista,
Thank you. I’m so happy you enjoyed them. I felt the same way about not getting enough of the color this year! Maybe because I know what’s next! ( Bareness ) But that has it’s own beauty too! I agree, fall is a wonderful time for gathering and making new memories.
Thanks for your note!

Thanks again for a wonderful posting – love your pic’s!!! We don’t have a lot of different types of trees BUT what we do have have come out in all their glory, because we have not had snow yet. Every time we even look out the window, we shake our heads in wonder of what has happened in our own yard, never before have we had such beauty. God has shown us some of natures best. Love your Mom’s painted leaves, before reading the caption, I was totally captivated with their beauty, wondering what trees they came from, still they are beautiful. God Bless.
Hi Joan!
I’ll be sure to tell my mom how much you enjoyed her painted leaves. There are too many native deciduous trees in the New England Hard Forest to name here, but I believe her leaves are from the Sugar Maple trees that grow wild around the pond where we were leaf-peeping! Blessings to you too, Joan!

Spectacular. That sums it up this autumn. Flaming colors abound in Bucks County PA. thanks for those colorful photos from New England.
