Fall in the Ozarks

Autumn Stream

Oh my word, how I love this sea­son in the Ozarks! The aller­gies stink, but I have no prob­lem sit­ting on the deck with tis­sues shoved up my nose as long as I have a cup of Dunkin Donuts Cin­na­mon Spice in my hands, the trees in my yard turn­ing beau­ti­ful shades of yel­low and red, and the incred­i­ble orange sun­sets on the horizon.

Last year we pretty much went from swel­ter­ing sum­mer heat to freez­ing ice storms. I need tran­si­tions. I want to enjoy the changes of life as it moves through the year. This year we’ve made up for last. The day’s are per­fectly in the 70s and it’s a bit nippy in the evenings. Can’t get any bet­ter than this!

With Grem­lin not being able to do the typ­i­cal Fall stuff, we’re com­ing up with new tra­di­tions for this sea­son. It’s kind of excit­ing com­ing up with new ideas as a fam­ily. These boys have some wild imag­i­na­tions! I’ll be sure to update as we go.  Tonight we’re mak­ing Mon­ster Mouths with apples, peanut but­ter, and candy corn for teeth. Even Old­man digs this stuff. That’s a win for the par­ents! ;-)
