Rejoicing in Things Seasonal

[caitri]

The Fall is maybe my favorite season. I like the smell of the air, pumpkins appearing, the changes in the leaves, and so on. I also have a particular weakness for Halloween candy--I don't know why orange and brown wrappers suddenly make chocolate taste better, but it does! I'm not a pumpkin spice everything person though. I think it smells nice? But the taste, especially on e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g, doesn't do it for me. (However peppermint is my personal kryptonite, so I am in trouble come November!)

Anyway, the weather is perfect at the moment: cool air, golden sunshine, blue skies. Crunchy leaves appeared on the ground as if from nowhere. 

This weekend I'm making a birthday cake with the last of the summer strawberries. Then it can be time to turn to all things apple....

Mine too! I'm not a huge pumpkin spice fan either, but Halloween candy and caramel apples? Perfection. The weather hasn't quite cooled down over here yet, but I'm hopeful that it's just around the corner.

May cool breezes and decorative gourds come soon to us all!!!!!! :)
