To enter, share a fall tradition. The one I'm looking foward to right now is driving through the mountains covered in vivid reds, yellows, and oranges. I just hope the pregnancy nausea doesn't make that experience less lovely than I'm hoping!

Pattern of the Day Giveaway #2: V's and Shells Afghan
This pattern is easy and elegant. It's a really basic mix of stitches, but they're still so incredibly beautiful!

Making soups!
Something about fall always puts me in the mood for soup
taking family walks in the crisp fall air.
A tradition I started last year with my first born is going to a local corn maze for a hay ride and to pick a pumpkin from their pumpkin patch! This year will be her second fall and her second trip to the pumpkin patch!
Making pumpkin pie...mmmmm yum.
We try to bake more cookies as a family once it cools down and we try to go to pumpkin patches and we go to the farmers' markets more. We also like to do big drives through the Texas Hill Country when it is cooler but since it has been too hot to do much outside that is what we have been doing a lot of lately.
my favorite fall tradition is to go to the "Grape Festival" in Naples, NY.. anything and everything grape! Arts and crafts booths.. It's at the end of September, nice drive there and lots of grape pies!
We go to the covered bridge festival every year. Wonderfl way to see neat handmade things and local history.
carving and painting pumpkins is a favorite of ours
Last year we took the two grandbabies to the Fall festival and Pumpkin Patch in Hartville OH. Now with 3 we'll be going again. Can't wait to see them riding the train and petting the baby animals.
We go camping once the air gets to where it has a fall chill to it and make hobo pies and smores.
halloween sugar cookies, playing in the leaves, and of course trying to get the best fall scene on the porch of all the neighbors!

I love going for drives to see the fall colors and going to the pumpkin patches with my family. :)
Every year we go to Homestead Hollow craft festival with my mom and sister. The kids love riding the ponies and being outdoors in the mountains.
wienee roasts with hotdogs, smores, chili, chips, etc. Nothing better on a fall evening.

Going to the zoo for trick or treating :)
Bonfires in the backyard. We cook hotdogs and marshmallows on metal poles my dh made.
I look forward to pomegranates (Indian apples as we called it). I just love them.

I love fall baking! I make loaves and loaves of my Grandma's pumpkin bread. This year she'll be with us for a month, so we will get to bake a LOT together! :)
During the year, we watch for cheap fleece remnants, doesnt matter what color or size.... Then in Fall, we cut the pieces in strips and make dog pull toys. Last time, we made 50 for cats and 30 for dogs. We take them over to the Humane Society and they hand them out during the winter when the animals cant stay outside long and can get restless......
We love going on a hayride to the pumpkin field to pick the pumpkins. I am expecting this October so I hope I will be able to participate this year!
