Around here, one thing is apple orchards (home of the newest apple the Sweet Tango)....U of Minnesota comes up with alot of apples. Honeycrisp is my favorite and they did that one too!
Corn mazes (altho I never have done one)...pumpkin patches...the fall leaves are lovely. The crisp coolness in the air (after the long hot summer we have had..it was 90 like 3 days ago!), the crunch of leaves will come soon enough. My dacyare crew and I are observing the squirrels right now! They are goofy and funny as they dig and burrow in my flower beds and mulch looking for treasures! The geese are flocking and headed south soon. I bake alot with pumkin and "spice" things (I have a super easy pumpkin spice cookie recipe that kids love and makes the house smell so good! Take a spice cake mix and add a can of pumpkin..not pie filling, actual pumpkin...in place of all the other ingredients..so no oil or water or eggs. Bake as drop cookies..blobs on a cookie sheet or parchment paper. SUPER good. Add a blop of cream cheese frosting if you wish. YUM!) Now I need to make some!
I love fall and winter in Minnesota. I embrace the cool then the cold. Spring is OK, but its muddy and messy and makes me miserable and sneezy. Summer I hate with the heat and sweat (altho I am going to miss my saturday morning Farmers Markets...another 2-3 weeks and its done..sad face :-(. One great thing aobut a place like MN..we do get ALL 4 seasons.
