The Autumnal Equinox has just come 'round again. I took a look back at our Friday Fives and noted that it always seems to make the Rev Gals and their Pals think of changes.There is something so nostalgic about this time of year, at least in the Northern Hemisphere. The nights grow cooler, crops are harvested, for some of us the leaves are beginning to change colors. The scent of smoke is in the air, pumpkins are in the stores (or on wagons, or in roadside stands for those of us in the country). I'm thinking of putting away my summer clothes and pulling out the sweaters. And I have a tub of Fall-themed items that my husband just lugged up from the basement. I'm looking for my scarecrow.For this week, let's share some memories along with some hopes and expectations:

1. Share a Fall memory. Going here and doing this...
2. Your favorite Fall clothes--(past or present)? Hands down... it's this sweatshirt!
3. Share a campfire story, song, experience...etc. The joy of s'mores for my kids! (This gal isn't mine, but I love her expression as she contemplates the sticky joys ahead...)
4. What is your favorite thing about this time of year? The scenic beauty everywhere!
5. What changes are you anticipating in your life, your church, family...whatever...as the season changes and winter approaches? We are adjusting to one less child in the house as The Johnnie is settling into college life and Reedy Girl is a high school student. It's a shift from parenting two at home, to parenting one at home and coaching one at a distance!

Bonus: What food says "AUTUMN" at your house? Recipes always appreciated.
It's almost SQUEEZO season! We have plans to make applesauce this year -- made easier once my husband discovered you could take off the handle and attach a cordless drill to the corkscrew... and away we squeezo!!! (It's also good for making tomato sauce, fruit puree for jellies, etc.)

P.S. Double bonus points if you caught the song reference... :)

I see a theme in #1 and #2. ***Smiles***
Love the picture play.
Great, great, great! Love the picture story-telling. And applesauce is one of the best uses for lots of apples. I can smell it cooking now! (not to mention that it's a wonderful excuse to use and smell cinnamon)
O-H-I-O!
delightful!
Mmmm, applesauce. As for the bonus points -- I'm old, I had to Google. I'm guessing the U2 song, but there's also one by a group called In Grey that has that line. Excellent play!
Lovely play! The pic of you in the OHIO sweatshirt is so cute!
Mmm, love the pic of the cider press! Thank you for sharing your pics and that was a GREAT way to play!
Buzzzzz.... Actually it was The Guess Who a rocker band from the 70s.
