There are two major reasons we love fall: It's time for pumpkin foods and fall foliage. Luckily, yummy pumpkin goodies can be found everywhere, but beautiful fall foliage is harder to come by. However, you can find some great leaf-peeping in Upstate New York's tree-filled Catskills region.

Upstate might seem like a heck of a trek, but the Catskills' Sullivan County is only two hours away from New York City. And according to the county's fall foliage report, the leaves are just beginning to turn there.]]> Jennifer Kester 2010-09-16T14:04:50-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2005/7/29/91826/2120 NY Times Escapes interview is with a seemingly sweet older couple talking about their summer Spring Glen Corners Catskill bungalow. Besides the fact that we immediately got reminscent about Baby in the corner, we thought cute, and then zzzzzzz. Until we read about the 'colony' atmosphere:

Everyone in the colony gets along. We have a community garden, a group yard sale and an annual potluck dinner. In between, we hang out. Several of us play guitar, and we all try to write songs. I wrote one about getting rid of the rabbits around here - with weapons of mass destruction.

Whoa, what the? No wonder there is no inter-bungalow strife. The loose cannon Mrs. would have you decimated.
