The changing from summer to fall is probably the time when I miss being farther north the most.I get that "fall itch," you know, the one that makes you want to wear sweaters and crunch leaves under your feet and make tomato soup.
But it is still in the 90's here.
And the leaves won't fall off the trees until December.
I want to decorate my house for fall, but when it's still bright and green outside it just doesn't seem to fit.
I know, boo hoo. When it's February and the rest of the world is dying for some sunshine...then I'll be so glad to be here instead of there.
So it all balances out eventually. Even if I do miss the changing of the seasons.
But yesterday my friend Allison taught me how to make pie crusts. Let me tell you, rolling out that dough and placing it in the pie plate, trimming the edges and crimping the outside--I felt so pleasingly domestic!The pie is delicious, and I made pumpkin, which does help it feel just a little bit more like the fall I'm wishing it was.

I want to feel like fall too....but someone needs to tell the weather guy...its still hot.
Maybe I should make pie too.
I understand what you are feeling, but trust me, it is so worth not having to deal with the freezing winter temps :). You do get fall, it just is in December and January, you just get to skip winter completely. I am so scared to have to live through winter for the first time in 7 years - all that great weather made me soft.
Oh my gads... I was just about to post about this very same thing! We don't have seasons here, PERIOD. The leaves come and go year round, and it stays between 65-85 almost year round. Ugh I miss CHANGE.
