The harvest season is celebrated diferently all around our country but none is like the hudson river valley. While Mexico celebrates the day of the dead we here in N.Y. celebrate Icabod Crane and the legend of the headless horseman. The harvest season is a spiritual time that is a rite of passage for all ages from one season and year to the next. It is a time to consider things done, things yet to do and things not done and things to be left undone. It is a time to appreciate and to make known our appreciation. The harvest season most importantly,  is a time that is not just one day but many held together and then celebrated not just by one but by many.

Never thought of Fall in quite those terms, but it is a season that causes me to pause and reflect more so than New Year's or Christmas.  Interesting.

 Great 6, Stephen. I think that harvest is such a special time for most of us, especially when it has been a fruitful one. These headless horsemen certainly get around. There is a legend that one appears at the crossroads just outside our village.
