Our trip to the Yankee candle headquarters

Photobucket

My honey and I decided to take a trip to see the foliage on the way to the Yankee Candle Factory in Deerfield, MA.  The colors were breathtaking.  I sure did enjoy the ride with my honey and the stops along the way to see the foliage and views.

When we arrived, I started to get all excited when I saw the factory with the sunny blue sky hitting those beautiful mums, a slight breeze and a few leaves falling, I knew it was fall.  Then my honey and I got out of the car and as always held hands.

Deerfield MA is a quaint town nestled in the hills close to the Berkshires in western Ma.  It has all the character of a small New England Village, and when you drive through it, the feeling of prim is everywhere.

I took a picture of my honey inside the Yankee shop that sells Chrismas villages and all of the sudden it began to snow inside the building, and I saw that sign and had my honey pose next to it.  Of course, being the gentleman that he is he posed for me, he is a real trooper.

Here is a picture of one of the many beautiful villages that we saw there. Why we love to look at the villages is because we have our own village that we set up before Thanksgiving. We truly enjoy setting up for Christmas at Hillcrest home, early every year.

I don't like getting my picture taken, lol, but i figured to show you prims, that I was there doing plenty of shopping that I love to do with my honey.  We got our tarts, and our favorite one that we get every year is the Balsam Fir.  It makes the hole house smell like Christmas time, our favorite time of the year.

O.K. girls, last picture of me with you guessed it, Santa.  I just fell in love with him because he is so Prim.

There were so many things to see that I could not possibly post them all on this blog today. My Honey and I had a quick bite to eat and then we hit the road for Hopkinton, MA.  It was a beautiful drive home,anytime I am with my Honey is a special time.
 I don't care where we go as long as I am with him!!!!!
Till next time Prims

October in Hopkinton

This is a picure of our living room, I really enjoy the fall time.
Seeing the leaves change color and going for a long drive with
my Honey to see the colors change on the trees.

Also, I love the crisp air when you go outside and then I want
to bake and cook, which I love to do.
I bake pumpkin pies, apple pies and blueberry pies. I love the smell of
fall time when I am baking those pies and then making comfort
food for my family is a gift that I am able to give to them.

The picture you see is of our mantle with the woodstove which is
another thing I love about fall. My Honey has already used it and up put up the screen
and just seeing that first fire of the year is so exciting!!!!!

But I have to say that Christmas is my FAVORITE time of year. I will
talk more about that later.

There will be fun things on my blog, I will be doing more than a few giveaways
before Christmas, what a treat that will be,but for now thank
you so much for stopping in and visiting me at Hillcresthome Prims.
God Bless
