IT’S HERE!! Autumn is here, or Fall, if you please. Last Friday morning gave testimony to that fact-- that cool 67 degree chilly air was certainly a welcome greeting. Just don’t get too excited yet; there are several more 90+ days left before we hit the 80’s. It’s time to get those Fall decorations out and on display. Get the hot chocolate mix ready and stock up on those fluffy little marshmallows so you’ll be ready for some nippy temperatures when they finally arrive. October is hot apple cider time, fireplace lighting time, Halloween time, and fruit pie time. Cinnamon and spice just go so well with cooler weather and ahh, that smell. Throw a couple of sticks of cinnamon, some cloves and allspice into a pan with water and let it simmer for a while -- your whole house will smell like a big ol’ apple pie! Oops, the old salivary glands are getting excited at the mere mention of such delectable odors. Pumpkin bread or creamy pumpkin pie are favorites of many people, or you can just use those pumpkins as cute decorations, if you’re not into the taste they produce.
