fall 09

It seems that this time of year always makes me happy. 

I think I LOVE summer, but when fall hits, there are so many other things I find that I love too... I like to spend my days cooking & baking.  I enjoy lighting fall scented candles and snuggling up with a book and a blanket.  I like to do crafty things with the kids, and take pictures out in the leaves.  We love the pumpkin patch field trips, and other fall festivals in our area. There is just so much to love about fall!

The last few days/week I have been very busy doing the first of those things.  My kitchen has never seen so much action :)  I have pulled out my slow-cooker cook book and tried some new recipes, may favorite being applesauce.  I have made some homemade peach freezer jam, and 2 different fruit crisps (apple & pear).  Next on the list will surely be something PUMPKIN...maybe a pumpkin roll or cake to take to MOPS (because I can't keep a whole roll or cake here without eating too much of it myself!). 

So, with all of this fall talk....what is your favorite fall food or activity?

I'm looking forward to Halloween. Carving pumpkins, dressing the kiddos up, and going trick or treating.

I should be cooking, but hubby is out of town, so not really feeling that homemakery right now, lol!

I am glad the weather turned down here though, and it actually feels like fall.
