I am so ready for Fall!! Though the calendar says that this is now officially the season our weather and temperatures do not reflect this in any way, shape or form. We do have a very slim chance of sprinkles this weekend so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
I keep seeing all these blogs in areas where the weather is changing and they are busy decorating and baking to reflect. Don't know that I've ever had fall envy before, but this year I really do! Maybe it's these never ending days of 90's and 100's that I am just tired of. I looked for signs of fall around our property and really found none.

So I've pulled out some more of the frozen pumpkin puree I made from all the pumpkins we got at Bates Nut Farm last year. Plan to make some of the incredible bread that comes from this recipe.
(Click on "recipe" for Maine Pumpkin Bread recipe, it's delicious!!)
Tried it for the first time last year and the family absolutely LOVES it!! Since we like things with LOTS of flavor I double the amount of spices and as this cooks the house smells incredible.
Ok, I'm done whining, I should enjoy the beautiful weather while we have it right? I will say the other evening an unusual glow was coming through the kitchen shade. I grabbed my camera and walked out front to see this:
The sunset is in the Fall colors mode at least!
The sunsets at the house are always so pretty-these pictures prove that! I've had fall fever also, ever since September started so I made pumpkin bread the week day too :). Can't wait for the cooler weather!
ReplyDeleteSee this just proves great minds think alike!! : )
Delete(Chuckling)...if you want some traditional "fall effect", please, please come rake my leaves! I know that "the feel" is in the air, yet I'm not ready to give up summer!
ReplyDeleteAlso, having never lived in a desert area, what are the signs of Fall there?
DeleteWe do get leaves dropping from deciduous trees that have been planted, but amongst the native trees and shrubs there are fall like color changes. Buckwheat goes from white to brown, which is beginning to happen, the same with a number of other brush and shrubs. I'll hike around and get some photos so I can post and show the changes when they do happen. They're there just not as profound as back East : )
DeleteMmmm..."profound" is not any adjective I'm using for Fall signs back here! Look forward to the pictures!
DeleteOh I wish we had season changes here. I love fall. That is my favorite season and unfortunately we dont have it here:(

Ours are more limited, until the weather decides to get cooler. I have that to look forward to and am thankful. Maybe you and your family should plan one of your great trips, but this time to a place that has these seasonal changes. Just a thought : )
