Within one day fall has come and gone. Though it's only October, we have already had our first snow here on the plains of Nebraska. It melted as soon as it hit the cement but collected on everything else.
Despite the winter conditions we still kept with our fall tradition and traipsed down to the apple orchards in Nebraska City. I can't say the weather was perfect but the day was. Not matter what somethings, like traditions, never change. It is something you can hold on to and cherish. And though things have changed in ways, the excitement of entering the fall season, picking apples, drinking cider and having fun together still remains. There were times several years back when I would dread a whole day together as a family and now I look forward to them, hope for them and count on them.
I look forward to sharing these moments, days and traditions with Teagan that were made when I was younger. Apples, and cider are only a small part of what these memories bring to me. I never realized how important family traditions were until I had a little one of my own.
