The air is cool and crisp and signs of Fall are slowly creeping into Memphis! Ahhhhhhhhhh
What a glorious time of year, in fact my favorite time of year. I know so many people say that it is the start of plants dying and trees loosing their leaves for winter. I see it as that special time of year when we thank God for the beauty of summer flowers and fresh fruits and vegetables out of our garden. The sun-glowed kiss of color on my children's faces and the beautiful highlights in their hair from all the fun days swimming.
Fall is just the beginning of planning recipes for stews and soups, making warm grilled cheese sandwiches after racking leaves, Gammie Anne's hot homemade coco with melting marshmallows making the perfect cloudy fluff on top of my cup.
I can't begin to tell you how much I love to cook during Fall and Winter. The kitchen is all toasty warm and I open my kitchen window for a cool breeze to blow through and cool things off. I starve Dave when he is outside working because the aromas of spice cakes, homemade lasagnas or chicken noodle soup fill the air outside.
Reminds me so much of my parent's old house down in Eudora, Mississppi when mom would start baking up all her yummy fall dishes. She never had to call my brother and I for dinner because the smells of homemade goodness would glide down the back gullies through the cut sue and pine trees... we knew it was time to wash up and head inside for supper.
Pulling out the soft, comforting sweaters and scarves. I love scarves, they can be such a wonderful accessory for an outfit. I found some great scarves on 90% off clearance at Target this Summer.
David's and my 11th wedding anniversary is coming up the middle of October. Ever since I was a little girl, I knew that whenever I got married it would be in October because of all the beautiful colors of nature during that wonderful time of year.
