Autumn is my very *favorite* time of year. The clear skies, crisp air, blustery winds, changing leaves and low afternoon sun speak to me, warm my heart and truly bring me joy. Growing up in a tiny town in Vermont, especially in the fall was just amazing and I am so thankful to have been able to grow up there. We played outside for hours on end, built forts, rode bikes, and jumped in huge leaf piles in the park. The kid in me still longs for those carefree days. I vividly remember riding my bike along Upper Falls Road with bright orange, red and yellow leaves swirling around me.
This image of Mt. Ascutney is forever seared in my mind. I used to gaze at this mountain from my bedroom window every day.
The road to Woodstock, VT is one of my favorite drives to take...the road to my old home.
Where is your home? Won't you share, even if you don't typically leave comments. I want to know where you are from. Represent yourself, your state, and/or your town! Where are you from?

I'm from Scotts Valley... I came a long way to be here today :-) One of those local kids... born and raised :-)
Where am I going next? Ellen has always wanted to live in Alaska, but the more she thinks about it, the more Oregon or Washington might be far enough North :-) We shall see! We have no plans of moving anytime soon, just one of those things we talk about doing some day.
First will be the birth of our daughter... any day now!
As you know, we're very new to Seattle WA, but we are loving it! Especially the very obvious seasons. Its fabulous. However, I spent 14 years in San Jose, CA and the rest of my life in Livermore/Brentwood CA.
I LOVED seeing where you are from. I forget that you weren't always a Californian. Beautiful place.
As you know, I'm from Corralitos. But my other home was Lanikai Beach, Oahu and I'll forever remember walking to school barefoot along the beach and dreaming about what was on the Mokulua's (islands right off shore) and being nervous to cross the river in case a crab pinched my toes. Here's a picture... I don't know how to make it a link though. http://www.thetravelerszone.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/lanikai-beach.jpg
Born and raised in Corry, Pennsylvania. I've called Tucson home for the past 5 years. We'll see where the wind blows us, next. :)
Born and raised in Tucson, AZ. My husband and I moved to Flagstaff for college, then on to Phoenix, and then back to Tucson about 5 years ago. I like to think that we're "Arizona experts." :)
