Why do I love fall? Oh, let me count all the ways I love the smells in the air, which delightfully caress the olfactory system, the coolness of the days, and the sounds of leaves crushing underfoot take me back to my childhood in New England. The colors kiss the world brilliantly in shades of utter vibrance! I love the smell of wood burning in the fireplace or wood stove. Don’t judge me too harshly! I love… love … love TREES…, but I think we can harvest wood that had to be taken down or was no longer viable. I do believe in replanting! There is just something! I love putting on my comfy sweaters and cuddling under a blanket with a warm and toasty cup of coffee in hand. I love baking pumpkin muffins and peanut butter bars and sending the proceeds home with some lucky son of a gun who gets to endure the fruits of my labors! I adore cooking! A New England boiled dinner was something I adored as a child…and fall brings those flavors! Oh, man! Can we skip summer and go for fall?
