"Happy Fall"

I have always love Fall , Since I was a young child
I remember fall as a magical season , the change of colors of the leaves ,
the crispy air, even the waters seam to run with a secret melody sound.

Fall time is also time for harvest , I remember as a child helping with the harvest,
with traditions and rituals we still keep very much alive.
Asking the four corners of the world
( North , South , East & West )
for their permission and favor .

I remember the elders picking up the dry dead branches of the vines, 

which later where used to grill food , believe it or not .... 

they give food a very distinctive and tasty flavor.

The tractors will bring those grapes to several big wooden barrels 

were we use to smash the grapes with our feet's.

Was worth it work , was not just a job. Sounded more like a party to us , 

there was music , food , family and friends.

***

The beautiful smells of the food being made , the joy and the laughter. 

The elders always teaching us new things. 

The story time where they used to tell us many story's about their pasts.

I used to sit there and listen mesmerized .
I have sweet memories of my child hood , happy times of my yester years. 

I have a good harvest this year , I planted Kindness 

and gathered the love of good friends, and family.

***

And I wish my dear family and my dear friends a great Autumn harvest, 

Hope they had gathered Love , Joy , Peace , Happiness,

Health and long lasting friendships.

I want to thank my Lord and redeemer , and my heavenly father , 

for letting me have another harvest on my life. 

Is been a good one , this year is a new addition a grand daughter , 

who has been a source of many joys and smiles and laughter in my days.

Time to bake apple pies , pumpkin pies , apple cider , 

hot chocolate milk , and many breads and pastries.

Happy Autumn Harvest.

I Live now in a beautiful state I been calling "HOME"

This is the beauty that calls me year after year
