Cooler weather.

Woke up to a cool morning, with just a few sprinkles that let me know that the weather is now like fall should be. I took an umbrella, but didn't need it. It was a nice crisp morning to walk. The leaves are turning and the mornings are darker when we walk. Might have to go a bit later if that continues. My walking partner is having a knee problem, so we have slowed a bit when we walk. Had for me as I usually walk at a faster clip!! :-) I don't want to lose her though, so will slow down for her to get better. I put on a nice stew to slow cook for the rest of the day, smells so good in the house. That is one thing I miss when it is too hot to cook!! Smells of stews, beans, etc and the baking. I want to start that soon too. I can't always eat everything I cook or bake, but I like to at least enjoy the fragrance! Nothing like a pie, cake or bread to make the whole house smell wonderful. So not only the land scrape changes, but the smells as well. Autumn has never been my favorite time of year, but it is growing on me. I like the colors, so bright, pumpkins, leaves, and even those rainy dark days. I have always dreaded the rainy days, but now even enjoy those. I guess it pays to change with the seasons, since we don't have a choice. :-) Antique Rose
