From my kitchen window I can look down on the treetops and see leaves gradually changing from green to red, green to yellow and green to burnt orange. This is the first autumn I have actually noticed here in China. It must be because this is the first time I've lived in a place with a great view and that view includes lots of trees. How lovely.
In Georgia we had an annual apple pickin' day around this time. My folks and family would drive up to the foothills of North GA and we'd spend a morning in the orchard. There were fried apple pies and cider to be bought and eaten. The sky would be that brilliant blue that I always loves so much around the Toccoa area.
Is there really anything better than a day spent outdoors in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains?
How appropriate that I'm eating apple crisp this afternoon as I type.
Our provence is the biggest apple producer in the country. You'd think with all those apples we'd have lots of apple treats and wonderful juices and cider. But anything appley that we eat comes from our own oven. But that's not anything to complain about. I love cooking and eating gooey apple treats.
Happy fall wherever you are.
