FALL IS IN THE AIR


Fall is in the air- everywhere. I just returned from Southern Michigan where I toured a rose garden of nine hundred bushes on the premises of an amazing Friesian dairy cow-breeding farm. Some of the roses were still in bloom, but not for long. I love to celebrate harvest by taking drives and short getaways in the country. Fall just isn’t the same in the city. One of our favorite things to do is pack a picnic. While tracing around the countryside, it’s a great time to get a good value on pumpkins, gourds and all sorts of wonderful fall decorations and provision. There is nothing more comforting than the family joy this harvest holiday brings. It’s time to bake some fall goodies, fill the home with harvest décor, and heighten the moods of the ones you love. It’s difficult for one not to embrace this rich and vibrant season. The beautiful trees full of bright leaves, the crisp afternoon air, and light, gentle breeze will surely strengthen the hearts of many. Somehow that golden light brings out the romantic in all of us, so maybe this is also a great time for you and your sweetie to have a brief interlude at a country Inn.

  1. From now until the winter solstice on December 21, the days get will shorter. Temperatures will drop because the Northern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, and thereby receives less of its solar energy.
