I love fall when you first start to feel the crispness in the air. Since we moved to Oregon we have made it a tradition to go to Sauvie Island each fall. It is a beautiful island that is surrounded by the Multnomah channel of the Willamette River and the Columbia River is on the other side. When you are on Sauvie Island you would never believe that downtown Portland is only 20 minutes away. We go to a farm that has a farm fresh produce market, barn with animals, corn maize, hay tower and free hayrides to their pumpkin patch. I love riding out to the pumpkin patch and being able to choose my own pumpkin right from the vine. I bought some acorn squash, butternut squash, delicata squash, fresh apples from Hood River, fresh apple cider and raspberry syrup. YUM-O!! Being able to get farm fresh produce is truly one of the greatest things about living in Portland, Oregon. On my way home from work I can easily drive past 2 farm stands. I LOVE it!
Happy Fall!!

As sad as I am about the thought of there being constant rain from now until, what, June, I still do love everything else about this time of year. Hopefully we can make it to Sauvie Island this year.
I love the fall too...mostly because I love when the leaves change colors and I love to wear my sweaters.
I LOVE fall too. And this is probably the last "real" Fall for us. AZ doesn't really get much of a Fall. So I'm living it up. Anyway, I love that picture of you sitting on the pumpkin, too cute!
So fun! We've never been there sadly. There is so much we want yet to do but won't have the time. Oh, well, we'll have to come visit. Cute pictures; I love the one too of you on the pumpkin.
Oh My, Holly... how are you? It has been a long time :) You and your hubby are too cute! So, what are you up to these days?!?
