Fall finally arrived in the South recently with the end of summer-like temperatures that soared in the 80s in October. Every year, we trek to the mountains to see the beautiful trees. This year, we traveled with the grandkids to an apple farm in North Carolina to pick apples.
I loved the trip with its crisp, fall temperatures, and warm apple cider. I hope you enjoy my pictures. What fun, fall activities did you participate in with your family this year? Share in the comments and share any fun blog posts related to your fall fun.




Now, on to our weekly linkup. First, please follow me on your social media. I love to hear from you: Blog/Facebook/Twitter/Pinterest/ Instagram/Google+.
Next, lets review last week’s linkup.

Our fall season was cut short last week with a snowstorm! It looked very strange to see the orange leaves all covered with snow. And then the next day it looked like a leaf shower, as the rest of the leaves all came down at once! God’s creation is so amazing. I’m glad you were able to have a fun family outing!
Lovely photos Mary! 😀
Blessings,
Jennifer

Hi Mary, thank you for selecting my post. I live south of Atlanta now but there are lots of great places to go in North Georgia to visit in the fall. Thanks, again. God bless.
What a fun outing! Beautiful photos, and it sounds like everyone had fun. We just had a little trek to see some leaves on Saturday–I’ll write more about it later this week. It was so refreshing.

Your pictures remind me of why fall is my favorite!
However…
here in the northeast, we are headed toward winter with snow in this week’s forecast!
Beauty in every season!
