Happy November

Although technically still Autumn, the weather is turning brittle and snow has been sighted.  Today I am reflecting to make sure that I haven’t missed any of my Favorite Fall Items:

Caramel Apple Eating                                                      
YES –Much to my delight, we each got our own this year!  This may be an indication that the honeymoon phase is over, but I like to think that sharing the experience is much more romantic than sharing the actual apple!

 Corn Maze                                                                  
YES – Growing up I was forced to tromp through fields of various crops, and the allure of doing that for fun (and paying money for the experience) seemed ludicrous!  Well, I now understand the amazing part of the maze.  To think, my dad might have turned me into the farmer he always wanted with the promise of secret passageways.

Tea/Coffee Drinking                                        
YES – So great to sit in front of the fireplace for fun.  We are enjoying quiet evenings, drinking hot beverages flavored with pumpkin spice and planning future trips to warm beaches.

Crafting
NO – Uh-oh, I am so behind in various projects and correspondences.  Perhaps there has been too much sitting in front of the fire and not enough old movie-watching while being productive.  If you haven’t received a birthday present yet this year, there is a good chance I had to give away a portion of it last night to our plentiful trick-or-treaters (after we sadly ran out of Scooby Snacks). 

Concocting a Stew 
YES – Even though each individual bite is yummy and creates a sense of coziness, I can’t help feeling I deserve a treat after finishing an entire bowl.  Perhaps the 6 quart crockpot was not the best of ideas.

Overall, it has been a hugely enjoyable season of leaf crunching, and I am excited to adventure into November!
