Go Forth and Autumn

It looks and feels like autumn now. That makes me happy and sad. I really appreciated and enjoyed summer this year so I'm far more sad than usual to see it go. On the other hand it makes me that much more excited to greet what has always been my favorite season. Whereas bright clear summer days make me want to sprint-dance around and high five everyone while listening to "Mr. Blue Sky" by E.L.O., autumn makes me want to snuggle with the whole world and make food for people I love and write letters and appreciate life. It's a more thoughtful, cozy in-love-with-the-world-ness. What is more beautiful than a color-changing tree in the hour just before sunset?

Goals for autumn (generally domestic, mainly culinary):
-finally knit a sweater
-bake an apple pie
-cook with fresh pumpkin
-cook with turnips (I have no idea how they taste, but they look so plain and friendly)
-write more letters
