Fall - Thursday is soon enough

I'm celebrating Fall early this year.

By two days, and I don't mind at all.

Fall celebrations will soon be in full swing: Farmer's Markets, Faires, Oktoberfest, Dia de los Muertos, Balloon Festivals, you name it Fall's got it.


There are so many fun Fall activities, recipes, and walks to be done and be had.

While I would love to claim any of these ideas, recipes, etc. for my own - I will not. It's not fair to the experts and wonderful persons who took the time to make all of this happen. Be not worried, I will include original links and give credit where it is due.

MAKE YOUR HOUSE SMELL LIKE FALL

This are great for any fix. Now, I know you can go out and buy a cinnamon broom (which is a lot easier, so maybe I shouldn't day that . . . .

BUT This is a much better idea. From: Lulu & Georgia

What you'll need:
     Cinnamon Sticks
     Orange Rind
     2 Tablespoons Whole Cloves
     3-5 Bay Leaves
Fill a pot with water, add all of the above and let it simmer!


Now, this will give the illusion that you are either working on a wonderful meal, or just plain Crafty.


With Fall comes a rather wonderful time in the year when Caramel Apple's are part of the main food group (this inculdes but is not limited to Apple Cider, Apple Pie, Pumpkin pie, candy corn, cinnamon on anything, s'mores, chocolate, hot chocolate....and so forth).

A Caramel Apple Bar is a wonderful way to spread yourself a spread. (Go with me here.) Apples on a stick, cover in caramel, and dip in your favorite topping.

You can also do this with whole apples. It will be the hit of your next Fall party!


There are dozens (if not hundreds) of other things you can do to celebrate fall - which I will get into next week!
