Autumn Treats


The days leading up to Halloween are filled with fun. We always enjoy our evening walk this time of year taking in the crisp Autumn air. The wonderful variety of Halloween decorations adorning our streets is always a sight to behold. Ghosts hanging from trees. Pumpkins and mums gracing many a front porch. Lawns turned into make-shift graveyards. Goblins and ghouls on every block!



The Autumn colors are in full swing across many parts of North America this week. Rich shades of crimson and burnt oranges, Fading greens turning into bright golden yellows. Trees ablaze with reds of every shade. Fields of milo painted in rustic brown.



Soon, our schools, shopping malls and streets will be filled with happy and excited little trick-or-treaters sporting this year’s array of scary costumes! Carrying little sacks or plastic jack-o-lanterns to hold their bounty of candy and popcorn balls! School teachers and legions of volunteer Moms are busily planning this year’s Halloween party!



Haunted Houses, Spooky Mansions, Corn mazes and Pumpkin patches offer Autumn fun for kids of all ages! Fall is such a fun-filled and beautiful time of year.



Autumn is the perfect season to savor the fruits of another bountiful harvest. Healthy eating is fun and easy during this wonderful time of the year. Apples of every variety fill store shelves. Squash, Peppers, tomatoes, and fresh vegetables galore. Pumpkins are very inexpensive this month and quite nutritious too. Try some roasted pumpkin seeds after you carve up that Jack-o-Lantern!
