Up until yesterday, I was rather certain that I was going to futilely fight fall. But last night, sipping through a collection of tasty white wines, I began to experience the earthiness of the wine more intensley. This may have been specifically directed by one particular wine (3 Brooms, 2010 Sauv. Blanc) with an aroma and palette of jalapeno, fresh green bean, and minerals.
As I was rolling the earthy and spicy Sauv around, Robbie
and I were discussing the coming of fall. Summer has been such an
unbelievable pleasant few months that I simply did not want to let it go already. He mentioned that he is absolutely ready for the change (which shocked me!). And perhaps it was also based on his possitive spirits, but as we began to talk about fall - its homely warmth and coziness - I quickly realized how much I will enjoy the change.

To celebrate, I got up around 8:30 this morning to make tea and begin looking through fall recipes. Oh my goodness, how I cannot wait to begin cooking and baking more frequently! A season where the heat in the kitchen comes as a welcome treat instead of a bothering pest, haha.
Fresh apples, doughnuts and cider, thick and creamy risotto, braised lamb and pork, roasted root vegetables, gnocchi, and on and on it goes. OH! How can i leave out the most important thing for Ma, Robbie, and my dear Hannah!? Chocolate Cake!
As I finish off my cup of chamomile, I realize that fall will be "simply grand." ArtPrize is around the corner, tons of new theatrical opportunities, the symphony, cooking, friends and family. I guess it was just a matter of perspective. Simply being reminded of the homely and loving warmth that so strongly permeates the cool weather has moved me!
May we all be reminded of familial warmth as the weather gets cooler;
may we know the love and affections of those in our lives;
and may we seek new perspective
which enjoys change and allows love to permeate all existence!
