Oh how I love Fall. It has to be my favorite season. It seems that everyone else is complaining about the cool air, the rainy days and I can't get enough. I wait all year for these few weeks. It is sad that it doesn't last long enough. Sometimes it seems as if we go straight from hot summer days to freezing winter days.
But today I get to enjoy a nice cool day, although the temperatures seem to be dropping pretty fast. It is only 51, 60's would be so much better. Curling up on the couch with a hot cup of apple cider, a book and a blazing fire is one of my favorite things to do. I know, I can do that in the winter too, and don't get me wrong I enjoy the snow, for the first few days. After that I'm done and don't want to deal with it for another year. Which is why coming home to visit for Christmas would give me my snow fix for the year.
Another great things about fall is all the fun crafts and snacks. I made my first apple crisp last week, oh the smell of an apple crisp in the oven. It is better than any air freshener or candle you can buy in the store. Yesterday we made caramel apples. Unfortunately for Dakota his braces are prohibiting him from enjoying them this year, but he did get to enjoy the fun of making them.
And then there is hot apple cider. I haven't had any yet this year, but I think we might walk to the store after lunch and get some. I'm pretty sure I saw a lady with a gallon checking out at the Jewel the other day but I didn't have the time to go back and look for it. That can be our afternoon adventure. And if we get hot apple cider, you know a fire and blankets with books on the couch will follow. One more benefit to homeschooling, instead of sitting at a cold metal desks in school reading, my babies will be curled up on the couch with me.
