Fall is in the Air!

Mums are everywhere, the air is cool, the A\C's are out of the windows and the trees are threatening to turn their leaves at anytime. That can only mean one thing - Fall is officially here! Yay!

I'm still amazed at these things that New England has called seasons. There are 4 distinct ones (as opposed to the 1 1\2 I grew up with) and they all have aspects that I love and am excited to see. What is still astonishing to me is how quickly they come and go. I mean, just over a week ago, it was summer and felt like it. Today, the air feels very different - crisp and cool - and it is definitely a new season. Natural, I know, but still seems a very new concept to me even though I've been here 9 years now.

One of my favorite things about fall is the pumpkin flavored foods that show up. I love them! This weekend, I had the pleasure of testing out a few - pumpkin muffins, pumpkin ice cream and pumpkin beer. They all got 2 enthusiastic thumbs up!

So, here's looking forward to all the great things fall has to offer - cool weather, awesome colors, tasty treats, my birthday, our anniversary and turkey day! Cheers!
