It was November – the months of crimson sunsets, parting birds, deep, sad hymns of the sea, passionate wind-songs in the pines. L.M. Montgomery
It
is November 8th and while many are bundled in front of fires and
listening to the hush of the fallen snow--- here it is 74 degrees and my flower
garden is alive with the flutter of butterflies.
The wind is blowing, the chimes sing softly, the leaves rustle and a few
trees burst with red and orange ---but it does not feel like fall --- for it is too
warm for sweaters and the air conditioner blows a steady breeze in the
house. The sprinklers water the grass in
need of a long rain and summer flowers are still in bloom. But
fall and Thanksgiving are upon us none the less. Today a fresh baked pumpkin cake fills the
house with the aroma of cinnamon and nutmeg, a candle of apple/cinnamon burns
softly and decorations added to the fireplace, mantel and table add a touch of
fall to at least the inside.

Without question, my favorite part of fall is pumpkin pie. I once tried to make it in July because I love it, but it just doesn't taste the same in the summer than it does in the Fall.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about fall in Texas is being able to turn the air conditioner off and open the windows for some fresh air. I think we are finally there. ;)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about fall is stepping in the crunchy leaves. I love the sound they make :)
ReplyDeleteWhat i like best about fall is that it's not too hot outside--but not cold yet. Perfect weather for being outside with the kids.
ReplyDeleteThe kids responses were:
1. Leaves changing color
2. Halloween (dressing up and lots of CANDY)
3. Pumpkin cake
