It is officially Fall in New York, and it is as lovely as we had heard it would be. After spending five years in Texas, it is nice to be back to the four distinct seasons. Though we have had quite a bit of rain lately, the weather overall has been gorgeous - in the 70s with crisp wind and sunshine. We have taken lots of walks, gone apple picking, and the leaves are really starting to put on a color show now. Supposedly the peak time for Fall color is mid-October, so I will try to post some pics of that when it comes. Last but not least, I've had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte, to ring in the season! 
The view from our back windows on a rainy day. This picture doesn't do it justice, as the reds and yellows are really beautiful.
A hike through Watkins Glen Gorge. This place feels like being in Rivendell, for you LOTR fans!
Pumpkin candles and a puzzle make for a cozy Fall evening. 
Dressed for a blustery day.
Apple picking - this orchard is so gorgeous and only about five minutes from our house. Great apple cider, too!
Beautiful Fall colors!
