What fall means to me!

Thanksgiving  - it’s my favorite time of year - the weather is perfect for a sweater and jeans, a warm pumpkin spice latte, and a walk to watch the leaves change colors (and to crunch them under our feet!).  With Fall comes pumpkin spice EVERYTHING, and we love it. It’s a time to give thanks and appreciate all the good!

• Fall means family.  The smell of the turkey coming out of the oven, or of warm chocolate chips cookies baking on a Saturday. Fall is the season that brings people together like no other, and that is why it is my favorite season. 
• Fall means fun.  My kids and I love hay rides, apple picking, and  roasting marshmallows by a toasty fire! While this year looks a little different, there are still ways to celebrate while staying safe.  At my house, we are focused on giving this year … starting with making delicious fall treats & delivering them to neighbor’s doorsteps.
• Fall means food.  Delicious, hearty, and warm meals warm our fingers and our souls just as a toasty fireplace does.  It’s time to make traditional fall comfort dishes like Shepherd's pie, roast chicken, or a festive soup (we love a good pumpkin one!).  Colder temperatures call for warmer food, giving us an excuse to stay in and indulge in yummy comfort foods. 
• Fall means drinks. Festive drinks are always in season!  Sipping a hot drink that warms both our hands and our heart is a fall staple.  Have some sweet apple cider, warm cocoa, or a delicious cup of tea (we won’t tell if some of them are spiked!).  One of my favorites is made by my sweet southern girlfriend Monica at www.ravensoriginals.com
• Fall means friends  This year friendship means more than ever. Every weekend I have zoom coffee with a different friend. One night a week I meet a friend for a zoom glass of wine.  I love this deliberate time to reconnect one on one.
