My absolute favorite thing about fall is celebrating Halloween and seeing all the trick or treaters! I have always loved seeing all the kids in fun costumes! We live in a super small town and last year we only had two trick-or-treaters. We are hoping for more success this year! I also have “making pumpkin and pork stew” on my to do list this year! I hope it turns out well!
Instagram wins for me in the app dept. I am buying an iphone for the sole purpose of using it to share pictures.
YAY! I bounced over from entering the swap 😀 I am wicked stoked about it! What a great thing to do for the holidays!

On my list: paint the raised beds before the rains set in and we have to look at those dreary things until next June, when the sun shines again.

We have yet to rake leaves, can you believe it? Not that I’m complaining; our tree is beautiful right now and I prefer the leaves *on* the trees rather than off. So that’s on my to-do list for fall!
My favorite app on my Android is probably good ol’ Maps. I use it all the time to find the best route, check on traffic, figure out where I took that wrong turn… 🙂 I’m a bit directionally challenged.
