Fall is a wonderful, nostalgic time of year. The simmering heat of the last few months begins to fade away, and we're greeted by the brisk cool air carrying the scents of autumn. The dark greens of summer transform into brilliant shades of yellows, reds, and oranges. The school year begins and suddenly I find my house has grown a bit more quiet and subdued during the day. I have more opportunities to write, read, and clean my house. Suddenly, my summer-long house of chaos becomes a bit more organized and orderly (well, at least, until the winter holidays arrive!). 

My daily walks begin to shorten, but as I travel along the path of fallen leaves I can almost taste the hot apple cider my husband has waiting for me on those chilly days. The urge to bake also hits me at this time of year. I start flipping through my recipes looking for new types of cookies, cakes and breads to bake. Anything with apples and pumpkin alert my taste-buds, as well as chocolate, but that really goes without saying!

The second round of birthdays in my family begins in September and runs until Thanksgiving, including two of my children, my husband and other family members. My children attend a steady stream of fall festivals, hayrides, corn mazes and at every opportunity they can be found jumping into piles of fallen leaves with the joyous sound of laughter and silly giggles.That in itself is enough to bring a smile to my heart. 

These are a few of my favorite things about Autumn. So, now I ask you: What is your favorite part of Autumn? What do you look forward to at this time of year?
