Out here in northern NM, we have an amazing array of events and beautiful places to visit year round, but in autumn, the smells and sights are just spectacular. The fall color out here is gorgeous and we take every advantage to enjoy it. One of our favorite traditions is going to the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta which is filled with color, laughter, fantastic food, the smell of green chile roasting, and hundreds of hot air balloons lifting off into the clear, cold dawn. After that, my husband and I head off to the woods and enjoy a quiet walk, savoring the solitude, the smell of clean, crisp cool air filling our senses, the changing leaves blowing gently in the breeze. We watch some of them whirling gracefully to the ground all around us and the soft crunch under our boots as we tread over their memories. Then we return home in the evening, wrap ourselves in blankets, sipping hot cider or cocoa, and just talk while our fire pit roars to life.

Ohhh, how I love the crispness of the spiced Autumn air with the hint of woodsmoke! To walk briskly on a wooded path hearing the crisp colorful leaves and fallen twigs crunching and snapping underfoot. The cooler air causes me to feel invigorated as I soak in the waning days of warm sunshine like a sponge.
Later in the day, while snuggled within a blanket and sipping on a warm mug of cinnamon laced apple cider, I enjoy the fragile moments of Autumn’s splendor from our front porch. Honking from wild geese, frogs croaking and crickets chirping accent the serene sounds of soft winds whispering that Winter is soon to come whisking around the corner! These sacred moments in time thrill my heart warming me again and again during the long winter months here in Minnesota!
Reading the Autumn issue of BELLA GRACE in hand would add such a warm pleasure to the moments being savored!

Joyfully…Sandie Luck

My favorite autumnal tradition is walking in Central Park with my sister, Pumpkin Spice Latte in hand of course. Wearing a snuggly knitted sweater and a fresh pair of sneakers (who doesn’t love back to school shopping) there is nothing like the crisp weather after a humid summer!

My favorite autumn tradition is visiting an apple orchard. Tart apples, cider donuts…nothing is better than that!

My favorite fall tradition is going to the pumpkin patch as a family. We’ve been doing it ever since my daughters were born. We take pictures, pick our pumpkins, and feed the animals in the petting zoo. Each of us will find our perfect pumpkin to bring home and carve. My girls are 17 and 19 now and still look forward to the pumpkin patch every year. Of course, now that they’re older we usually incorporate a Starbucks trip on the way home 😉

My favorite autumn tradition is going to a nearby state park for a hike with the family. These days as my kids get older, they want to go out hiking with the family less and less, but I can always get them to go in the fall at least once.

Raking leaves into giant piles & jumping in them… walking with a hoodie or sweater on. Sitting around a bonfire with your kids & just knowing how blessed you are…
