The glorious weather we have had the last few days is a perfect example of why fall is my favorite season.  The temperate, daytime sunshine is followed by a nice refreshing chill in the evening.  Nature’s gift to us is unfolding right before our eyes as the trees shed their summer greens and don a new, more colorful coat for the season.  There are so many things to do in the fall and so little time to do it in.

Just today I was talking to a young ten year-old child.  He was so excited because this weekend his family is going to pick up their grandmother and drive to Michigan.  What are they going to do?  Why, go apple picking of course.

He told me all about this family tradition and how its one of his favorite times of the year.  As he described the annual event I began to wonder if he really even liked apples all that much.  I guess it doesn’t matter, it is the season he is so excited about.
