Many
people are making plans for summer vacations, but here at my house we
are talking about the fall season. This morning I spoke with my
friends about the spring baking day and the autumn season day of
baking was discussed also, in fact we set a date.
Know
that in five months my husband will start organizing his Halloween
decorations so I guess it is okay to discus autumn activities in
February. Needless to say all this talk about autumn has got me
thinking about my favorite outdoor autumn activities.
When
the leaves change from green to golden, orange and red and the
weather changes to the point where the nights are cool enough for a
sweater that is when you will find me sitting by the fire pit
drinking hot apple cider. I will make plans to celebrate this harvest
time of year by participating in the activities that I enjoy with my
family and friends.
1.
Hiking
off trail in the Ozark Mountains
2. Photographing the trees in full seasonal color
3. Floating down Shoal creek on an Indian summer day
4. Touring corn mazes
6. Attending a harvest bazaar at a country church
7. Baking harvest fruit pies

Note:
Shoal
creek is located just south of Joplin Missouri and this creek
features Missouri's largest waterfall.
The creek plunges 15 feet over chert rock which is a very hard creek
bedrock. In fall hiking or taking a float trip along the Shoal creek
is one of my favorite things to do.
