The smell of Autumn is in the air..

August 25, 2008

This may sound weird to some, but the smell of Autumn is in the air. I noticed when I was out and about this weekend the trees are starting to turn already. I hear according the the farmers almanac that we may be in for a rough winter. But I rather not think of the snow but the glorious colors of Autumn. It will be time once again for cooler mornings and evenings and then its “Let the baking begin”!!

This morning I am baking because its a cool morning and when a moment like this comes after hot hot days and not making any goodies, you take it. This morning I am baking a cinnamon streusel coffee cake! It really smells wonderful in here.

I have to decide which tarts I will have going this week. I am a tart addict or candle addict. I love when my house smells delish! I am awaiting my lastest order of tarts, as I have 20 coming! I have some country berry flapjacks, some blueberry cheesecake, some spiced apples and peaches and some pumpkin cheesecake coming!! I only order from my friend Lara who owns The Sage Grove. But I really look forward to fall because she always comes up with some delicious goodies, so on those days I am way too lazy to bake my house will still smell yummy!!

My son started school today. Now where we live, the kids that attend traditional public school don’t start until after Labor Day. But since he attends a charter school online (still public school) he started this week. So he is a little bummed but such is life. I hope he has a good school year and I don’t have to spend most of the day arguing with him to get his school work finished. This is going to be an adjustment too since his sister is out of school. This will be interesting to say the least!!
