Fall Traditions...

I am a fickle "season" person. I spend some thought time, just a little, each season trying to decide which one I enjoy the most. I go back and forth between Spring and Fall as to which one is my all time favorite. When Fall gets here it is my favorite and when Spring rolls around again next March/April I'm sure it will be my favorite. But for now it's Fall in Georgia. The bright sunshiny days with the temps. in the low 70's, no humidity (Yeah!!) and the cool evenings and mornings are wonderful. The leaves are starting to change and we are still on day light savings time so there is still daylight until about 7:00pm. A very refreshing time of year.
Also with Fall comes a few traditions we have done throughout the years. So, today we went to the Smith House in Dahlonega. There you eat family style all the fried chicken, roast, ham, black eye peas, fried okra, cream corn, collard greens, mashed potatoes and gravy, slaw, green beans, rolls, corn bread, and strawberry short cake you can hold. Definately a heart attack meal waiting to happen but we figure once a year is not so bad. After our meal we then walk around the Dahlonega square and browse, and enjoy the scenery.

After our time in Dahlonega we are off to Burt's Pumpkin Farm. Now mind you, when we started going about 20 years ago it was nothing like it is now. It was crazy busy. But, it was still a lot of fun and we got two great pumpkins to carve later.

We had a great day!
