I know that most of my family and friends crave the summer and the sun. I like summer too, but I LOVE fall. I love the crispness in the air. I love wearing jackets and sweaters and as a short girl, I look better in pants than shorts. Shorts tend to make me look even shorter and squashed. I love wearing denim pants and jackets and layers. But the clothing is just one of the things I love about fall.
I love the food in the fall. My Grandma makes something called Wassle which is a version of Apple Cider. It is so warm and flavorful. Cinnamon rolls start to be baked again. Yum! I also love apples. Especially carmel apples! And something I'm not good at making but am going to try sometime this week is carmel corn. I know most people like carmel corn that is all dry and more or less a flavor dusting on top of the popcorn, but the way I grew up with carmel corn, it is actually carmel poured on top of the popcorn. It is messy and gooey and wonderful!
Then there is Halloween, and corn mazes, and the changing of the leaves. I think that here in Utah we are so lucky to be able to watch the mountains change. They are so beautiful with all the orange, yellow and red.
So even though the high today is like 82 degrees, I am so excited and ready for the fall!

Yes I completely agree!
ReplyDeleteYour post has me looking forward to all sorts of things I hadn't even thought about it, wassail, carmel corn and I like the soft gooey kind the best too. How delightful to have a sister in law I have so much in common with. You and Kel need to come up a day and we can make all of our favorite fall treats to take home to our families. Pumkpkin chocolate chip cookies are Eric's favorite, we will toss some of them in their too!
