In my house autumn is not just a season, it s a way of life viewed upon and treated with the excitement of a holiday and with great anticipation. Few things are as enjoyable as walking through an apple orchard, smelling the fragrant, sweet fruit on a clear, cool, bright, sunny day. Take a ride in the country. Visit farm stands. Many local farmers offer special, seasonal attractions, many geared toward children and families including hay bailing, refreshments offering tastes of the season such as apple cider and pumpkin cookies.
Some farmers even get their animals involved and offer petting zoos.
Go on a hay ride. Climb aboard, sit back and relax in the hay. Let the tractor pull you and leisurely enjoy the scenery. Slow down, relax and enjoy. Take a trip through a pumpkin patch.
