I love the crispness of the air as the seasons change; my lungs feel invigorated when they breathe in the sharp, cool air that comes in October. Mingled with the smell of fallen leaves and shops that are filled with maple or apple flavors, my mouth and my nose tell me that Autumn has finally come!
We took a look at a few glowing jack-o-lanterns, picked out some big pumpkins, and stowed them away in the car before the ride began. Then we snuggled down into the warm hay piled in an open flatbed wagon, pulled behind a farm tractor. A brilliant full moon watched over our journey, flooding open fields with light so that we could see wild throngs of colorful flowers dancing in the dark, and then sparkling through the thick foliage of tree branches as we winded up an forested hill. Our wagon deposited us at a big bonfire where we were gifted willow sticks upon which to roast marshmallows, and glasses of fresh apple cider. The night was perfect.
And then! As we walked back to the parking lot, I heard the boom! boom! BOOM! of fireworks in the distance. From our hill, we watched a dazzling fireworks show. All my favorite things, wrapped up into one special date night with my hubby. This is the most wonderful time of year!
