It is almost October and we are deep into our Indian Summer - but I can't help feeling like I need to get out my Fall Decorations, go get my cornstalks for the front of my house - you know the drill - but it is so difficult to get in the "mood' for that when it is 85 degrees outside! Don't get me wrong - I love the warm weather - but I think I am ready for the Fall - I was able to really enjoy it this past weekend - I had to travel up north for a family function - As I drove up towards Lake George - I noticed how gorgeous the trees are starting to look - There is so much "green" country up there - makes me wants to go for another drive up there in a few weeks - should be at peek then!
What is it about the Fall that is so appealing? I guess it is time for all the snuggly things that we all love - a good fire, or sitting in front of a friends fire pit, roasting marshmallows, having hot chocolate (at Jane's omg.. it is so good) I can't wait.. I am so with you cocoa.! A nice hot cup of Jo.. no Joe, not you .. a good bowl of soup.. just the other day I had this great Mushroom Barley that Eugene recommended.. it was so good.. you can see where I am going with this.. basically all things comfortable and cosy.
So what to do to celebrate the Fall - Besides the apple picking, pumpkin picking - pumpkin carving.. there is that 'Blaze" thing in Westchester - but wait.. there is more.. oooh hot apple cider!!! (Jane has fresh apple cider at the coffeehouse.. she just got it in!) Cider donuts.. (yeah, she has those too!) There are many things around to do - It is all good..
This weekend is Pearl River day - If you can come out to PR and check out the things we have to offer - I should be around.. ok.. I will probably be at Jane's.. who am I kidding.
So welcome Fall - I will try to find a sweater that won't make me look like woolly mammoth..
peace out kiddies...
