Autumn

I’m totally feeling fall-ish this week.  Temps are cooling down and the breeze is crisp.   Oh, and our pool is closing, which means 7 months of ugly in the backyard. Blah.

So, I’m feeling fall-ish.

Well, I totally don’t live for Autumn, just for the record. I’m all about Summer. I am pretty much constantly chilly so the sun & I do some serious bonding in the Summer (yes, of course, with sunscreen). It takes about the whole Summer for me to entirely thaw from Winter.

But I do love the 4 distinct seasons – I love the changing leaves and the cooler air, warmer fashions and the coziness of all of it.

And how can you not love cozy, really?  I so want these socks.

If you’re lucky enough to have a wood burning fireplace, there’s nothing like a warm fire crackling away.  Add some chunky knit throw blankets. And hunker down.  It’s a day-pass to lazy-ville.  Guilt-free.

Cool weather food = comfort food.  Mac & Cheese, Apple Crisp, Soup.  Eat these while you’re hunkering.  Here’s the recipes…..

Make this.

And this.

And the soup – Curried Butternut Squash.

YUM….Make all those. And send some to me, for quality control. ’Cuz I’m helpful like that.
