i have been teaching my students about fall this week. it’s a difficult concept to grasp when we have two names for the exact same season. so i find myself repeating “fall is autumn, autumn is fall” to help clarify.

but fall is here. i have made pumpkin bread (twice). soups are back in our dinner rotation. the heat is on during the evening. and sunday = football.

of course, when i look outside my eyes cannot be fooled to believe it is anything else but fall. the leaves are changing and tumbling down. the air is brisk and chilly. i am craving my morning coffee more than ever, but resisting like a good girl. the morning are dark and the evening are short. some feel that fall can be depressing, but i so enjoy this time of year. it is time to slow down, curl up and prepare for the winter months ahead.
