I simply
adore this season for a host of reasons and I have passed on that love to my
girls.

The other
morning it was a little chiller than normal and the front window was steamed up
from our cat looking out. I hadn’t even noticed it as I got my oldest to the
bus on time; but it was THE first thing my youngest noticed. She was so happy
to see that steamed up window. Why does
that make you so happy I asked? Because she said “it means that baking season
is here”! She is her mother’s daughter.
As if by
some physic link my oldest texted my from the bus saying that the nice crisp
morning made her think about my Apple Pie. Coincidence? I think not.
See it has
been so ghastly hot this summer, here, there, everywhere! That I haven’t done
much baking. I was loath to turn the oven on for the 2 minutes it takes to
broil some sourdough crustini’s, but there was simply no way my family was
doing without them.
We love fall
here, not just for the baking, but for the cooking of favorite recipes and the
seasonal activities- Fall Festivals, watching football games, going for nature
walks on our property, driving down the Natchez Trace to look at the pretty
leaves, raking up our own batch of pretty leaves, yard work and prep that is
soothing in its traditions. Ever since my girls were little they have helped my
ready our yard and porches for winter. This year will be no different. With one
exception: they are bigger and filled with more stories and memories.
Fall is a
busy, happy time here and I hope it is for you and yours.
