It's the end of an awesome long holiday weekend. And the end to summer. Bittersweet perhaps, but the sweet scent of cinnamon and apples is worth celebrating.

You know it's almost autumn when...
I'm making the first applesauce of the season. And we picked our first ripe pumpkins. The squash is almost gone. The yellow finches are losing their brilliant mating hue. The chickadees are stopping by our feeders on their way south. The geese congregate in the nearby fields and ponds as they, too, wing toward warmer winter climates. And...we return to school.

I normally want 80 degree days to stick around all year, but there's something about New England in the fall that I have missed - all of those cozy things like making applesauce and pumpkin pies, reading a book in a warm coffee shop, wearing oversized, fuzzy sweaters. This is the first time, since forever, that I am actually looking forward to the cooler weather and a new season!
My favorite part of the fall season is going apple picking and making apple crisp! one of my favorites. I am hoping to go to Keenes pumpkin festival this year. the last two years i tried to go but i was working or missed the day.
After the furnace that was last week, I'm very ready for fall. I was actually kind of happy about something weird a few nights ago: it was nice to have to shut a window because it was too cold outside.
