I love Fall. I love how everything is back to business after the Summer season. I love how schools are in full gear, children are out on the field at soccer practice, parents are coaxed into remembering all the state capitols and how to do algebra in an effort to help with homework. And yet there is a certain quietness about it. A stillness, that is the calm before the Winter storm of the Holidays. And there is comfort. Comfort found in a soft blanket on a rainy day. Comfort in being back on schedule and most of all, comfort food.
I love the foods of this season more than any other. Squash and nuts and heirloom tomatoes. Crisp apples and artisan breads. Carmel and taffy and licorice. And pumpkin. Anything pumpkin.
I will be making my yearly batch of pomegranate jelly in a few weeks. It is a process, but well worth the work.
If you would like to try your hand at jelly making- invest in this little kit by Ball. It will make it a ton easier for you as a beginner.You still have today to enter to win Friday's giveaway. I have three little monsters that will go to three different homes. Just leave a comment.
Stumble It!

I, too, am the second sister.

You make fall seem so magical! I should have come to visit just a week later so I could have helped with the deco. I love Halloweeen! Well I miss you Meekers and days without homework/work. Thanks again for letting me live the "good life", even if only for a few days.
