This will be my first year spent without real seasons, and I wonder how I'm going to feel about it. I'm thrilled to be rid of the Hoth-like lake effect snow of Western Michigan, but now that there is not the threat of winter lingering behind fall, I am actually starting to miss it. I used to get chills when stores started carrying back to school items, and would curse the change in weather.
Now, all I want is chilly nights, colorful leaves, and to bake things with apples and pumpkins. At least I can still do that last one, and the nights do get colder out here in the winter months to create a faux-fall coziness.
I was excited to see this in my inbox today from the Farm Fresh To You people:
FALL FARM TOUR
|
Fall is soon approaching and a wonderful time to be at the farm. Join us at our Southern California Farm Tour on Saturday, October 1st, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in Valley Center at our partner farm, Stehly Farm Organics. Look forward to pumpkin picking, tractor-trailer rides, picnicking, arts & crafts for the kids, self-guided walking tours, live music and more.
Hope to see you there!

Am I too old for this stuff? Nah. If I don't go, you better believe I'm hosting a pumpkin carving party in October. :)
In celebration of fall, I'm going to make spaghetti squash in place of pasta tonight, with roasted tomato pesto sauce from Oh She Glows. I've had the sauce before (and it's killer!), and I recently learned about spaghetti squash. Apparently you roast the squash and the insides become spaghetti-like strands (hence the name). So curious to try it! :)
Happy end of summer/beginning of fall from Calvin and Hobbes!
