Halloween candy is available in the drugstores.

The local cider mill is now open every day for fresh apple cider to purchase.

Pumpkin picking cannot be far away.

You pretty much covered it @MyGirlsMom. I especially notice the days getting shorter. When cleaning up after dinner I didn't need to turn on the lights to see what I was doing until just the other day. lol

Oh, pumpkin picking? Which I've never done in my life.

Moms speed racing while texting up and down our neighborhood streets, dropping off their kids. (A couple of dads, too, but they don't seem to text while driving.) Same time each morning and then again in the afternoon. It was so peaceful all Summer long..........lol.

Along with the ice cold cider comes the freshly made donuts and homemade fudge. Takes an hour drive but will always support this family farm operation. Our 3rd generation is going there now. Can't wait.

I forgot another; When the ferry and charter buses plus heavy traffic on the roads get down to almost zero. I don't have to plan my days being backed up at the bridges.

Wine Festival around the corner for all the wineries in western CO. Next month the apple festival.

Love the fall colors, when they start rolling in.

Saw huge, really nice looking mum plants at Sams last week.

@Gram W

I can't believe you posted this because it's almost the same with our family! Even before my husband I were dating, we've been going to the same cider mill, and orchards and have made it a family tradition ever since. You know it must be special when your twenty five year old daughter wants to know what weekend do we have planned to go this year. LOL

Well if you hadn't taken that promotion you wouldn't have to worry about backed up bridges lol.

When I feel the familiar "chill" in the air and see the very faint greenish yellow cast to the leaves. All the other things mentioned!

@Marp I think you're right but you may want to edit.

Thank you for calling that to my attention. I can't believe how incredibly careless I was.

@Marp

I wish we had a 'thumbs up' button

anyhoo, would you believe the leaves haven't even begun to change here yet? It's also going to be in the mid 90's until next week.

It is time for our fall break from school. We've been back since August 1 and have our first week long break September 19!

Your seasonal allergies kick in!

Ragweed and Goldenrod here.

Sorry to be a downer, but true.
