Fall!


So this is my first real fall season experience. Even though it brings some fear of winter with it, it has been completely glorious.

Favorite things about fall in middle America so far:

-Grated-apple oatmeal

-walking the dogs through piles of leaves

-mussels in white wine

-Jaron in a hoodie

-watching Kona play with falling maple leaves

-spicy pumpkin sausage soup

-butternut squash soup

-driving down our street lined with multi-colored trees

-coaching volleyball

-intermittent super temperate days

-the grass growing more slowly

-apples straight from the orchard

-oktoberfest microbrews

-pears with dark chocolate

-mushrooms every day!

-holding hands more often cause you're not hot and sticky anymore
