Fall Favorites

Fall is my absolute favorite season.  I love dressing in layers, I love an excuse to drink some hot chocolate with my kids every morning, I love the crisp air and gorgeous leaves, and I love all the fall foods: soups, all things pumpkin and apple, even the fall salads.

Fall in Northern California is interesting.  The mornings are extra chilly, but it can still take the leaves a while to change compared with other states.  So when they start to change, our favorite thing to do as a family is go for walks and drives.  Our street’s leaves are just starting to change into yellow.  But other streets are really blooming, as are the trees along our running trails.  My kids really thrive with some fresh air in them, and I personally need some nature medication every day.  Having that with some beautiful views is my absolute favorite thing about fall.

Now if you’d excuse me, I’m about to go tuck into a bowl of apple crisp.
