well it might be as high as an Elephants eye but there's no corn on the Cob.. 
Another week or 2 before we start seeing a proper Autumnal change I think
This is what Fall tastes like...

What a lovely area to take a walk, Cookie. Homes that display the great craftsmanship of the past...not the quickly built, cookie cutter mini-mansions that are built today. Love the copper roof on that house. And the pumpkins and squash. Mother Nature is an incomparable artist.
When my daughter was young she loved to walk through the older sections of town...to look at the houses. She ended up buying a older home that reminded her of those houses.
SB....the aspen are spectacular.
Holly, your pictures are wonderful...especially the dirt path into the woods. Is that in your back yard?

Not quite Nona, but almost..I have to cross to the other side of a small road to get to it.. 
Thanks, Nona. We do have mostly brick older homes here, even smaller ones are made of brick, because it gets so cold here and hot in summer.
Such beautiful nature shots, all. Still early yet for fall foliage, but the changing scenery is really so pretty.

Fall is my very favorite season of the year. We haven't even had a hint of it this year with the drought that is going on. The leaves are turning but, rather than
looking pretty, they just look dry. We are so tired of being hot!!!! Will never forget the Fall the year we lived in Niagara Falls. So very pretty.

Nice fall photos of the US I found online. Today's nice and cool, in the 60s, need a sweatshirt to sit outside now. I've got the fall fever!

If I may add to the theme with a recipe to go with this photograph
Year round when I was a kid we would drive to Central PA. But Fall was one of the most beautiful times. My family came from the Pennsylvania Dutch country. There are many recipes that make Paula Deen seem low cal but here is a special one:
It's adapted from a recipe that had no measurements but I figured it out.
Cinnamon Flop
1 1/2 C of white sugar
2 T melted butter
1 beaten egg
2 C flour
2 tea baking powder
1 C milk
Dash or two of vanilla extract
Preheat oven 425.
Mix the above until everything is moistened but don't over beat. Pour into butter greased square pan. This recipe uses butter. My aunts used to make it with margarine and it was nasty. Use butter, always butter. The next step is fun. Before it goes in the oven cut maybe sixteen small pats of butter. Line them up evenly on top of the batter. Now take brown sugar, a few handfuls at least, and cover the butter pats. It doesn't have to be perfectly even. But better a bit too much than too little. Now dust cinnamon over that.
Bake about 20 minutes until edges are light brown. Let cool at least an hour to half hour. The brown sugar sinks to the bottom and caramelizes, it's very hot. Of course by now the house smells delicious so you might have to beat people back to keep them from devouring it in the night. Enjoy!!!
