It goes without saying that mid-August is a time of change. In central Pennsylvania, in the evenings, sweaters an/or jackets are sometimes donned, leaves begin to change, school buses return to the roads once again, crisp apples appear and thoughts turn to winterizing, indoor activities, and shorter daylight. For residents and visitors alike fall, in central Pennsylvania is "THE" place to be.
Following the PA Quilt (and Rug) Trails you travel through forests and farmlands, in fall, all ablaze with vibrant reds, purples, oranges, greens and yellows. Amish hay bales are collected in the field and stacked looking like a real-life Van Gogh painting. Farmers Markets and road side stands are full of vine ripened tomatoes, squashes, pumpkins, pears and apples. Wineries are busy harvesting their grapes and pressing them into delicious red and white wines. Last year I was lucky enough to stop by Hunters Valley Winery on a day they were hand pressing their red wine.
This year if you are local or visiting take some time out to go look at some of the pieces of the PA Quilt (and Rug) Trails. Our newest square which will be installed in the next few weeks at Heirloom Cabinetry in Mifflintown has one of the prettiest views of farm land and rolling hills.
