What's in your backyard?

I use to live in a quaint beach community popular with manhattan-nites during the summer.  Every time I tell people I was raised four blocks from the beach and boardwalk most say "you probably went to the beach everyday."  Like most people I didn't take advantage of much of the splendor that was right in my backyard as I got older and life got busier. 

I'm afraid to admit it but I think like many New Yorkers,  I haven't even been to the Statue of Liberty which is only 20 miles from me.

Now I live next to a park literally in my backyard.   I walked out this morning for a brisk walk, to find some pine cones and take in the beauty of fall.  Although I didn't find not one pine tree and I kept tripping because I was falling in love with the sights surrounding me.   I used to think scenic pics were a waste of film if a person wasn't in it.  How wrong was I!  Taking pics of vacation spots are always nice but I come to appreciate what I have right in my backyard.

My Favorite Season

I know I'm a few weeks late and winter is just around the corner but only recently has the temperature dropped to the 50's and 60's.  I am lucky to live on the east coast of the US to witness every autumn season and the beautiful changing of the leaves from green to golds, orange and browns.  I love going apple and pumpkin picking. I love the color of pumpkins and squashes but end up giving them to neighbors because I'm not a of fan of eating pumpkin.

It's Halloween today and even though not many kids go trick-or-treating door to door anymore, I still get a warm fuzzy feeling seeing them in their cute store bought or homemade costumes.  Oh and how they lighten up when they see you dropped chocolate in their bags!  If you have Hershey's I think they text their friends that "this house has chocolate!" and you start getting swarms of them.

I've made three apple pies in as many weeks.  Somehow as much as I love making and eating them I don't make them any other time of the year.  I don't think there isn't anything I don't love about this season!  Time to curl up by the fireplace with my scented pinecones, drink some orange-almond tea and cut another slice of pie!
