It's the last few official days of Summer so I'm starting to get into a fall frame of mind here. I haven't gotten my fall decorations up because my light strands have about 7 burned out bulbs and I can't find replacement lights just like them. Not that I've been running around anywhere either. But I'm ready! We have just a couple touches of fall color in the trees I can see from my house. There is one kind of tree in my yard and the neighbors that usually turn a good month or more before anything else; but even those are still green this year. I'm wondering if our color will be late. The color never laswts long enough; so I'm ok with delaying it a bit so I can savor it.
What is your favorite fall scent/treat?
I 100% believe Pumpkin Spice is way overdone. I like it. But it's not Apple Cider. I really need to get to the local orchard to get their cider. It's the best! Plus they make awesome apple cider dounts! So for drinks (and scents) nothing beats apple cider! I like it hot or cold. And in a slushie its amazing! (The local orchard makes those too.)
I think my favorite treat is Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cake. It's a nice moist cake and not overly spiced. My mother often makes that when she needs to "gift" someone something baked. She'll bring it to work or drop one off to someone like when taking them a meal. I try to stick to making just 1 a year; so I haven't made one yet this year. I'm waiting for October I think.
