Fall is my FAVORITE time of the year. Yes, it’s FALL. Not Autumn. 🙂
I’m from New York where we say Fall… where we love anything with pumpkin (Pumpkin Latte at Starbucks, Pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, even a pumpkin as decoration on our front porch)… where it’s almost sacrilegious to go the whole season without going apple-picking with loved ones and then going straight home to bake something yummy like apple pies or apple crisp… where we take drives just to look at the insanely bright colored leaves… where we drink so much apple cider it makes our stomachs hurt (cold, warm with spices, with steamed milk at Starbucks)…
I’ve found NONE of that here. Not even a pumpkin on a porch. (I can’t even find canned pumpkin here for baking!)
I know I’m a true New Yorker when you miss these little things. And I’m a true New Yorker because they aren’t so little…
But I know I’m happy where I am because I’ve give up a real NY Fall any day of the year to be here.
P.S. We’ve had a busy Fall! We just put up a new album of photos in our picture section… check them out!
