Each season I make a little list of the pleasures I want to soak in. I call them manifestos, but they’re really just love letters to the season. These seasonal lists are my own little things-to-do-before-the-moment-passes.
First up, let me just confess: I love the word “Autumn”. As a child I met an older girl, with long auburn hair, named Autumn and she seemed the very epitome of the season. For that reason, I love to call it “Autumn”, not “Fall”. “Fall” sounds vaguely ominous while “Autumn” is full of colorful leaves & toasted marshmallows & pumpkin pie.
Now that I have that mini-rant out of my system, it’s time to bask in the wonders of Autumn.
This week, I am determined to:
- Find a baking pumpkin and make some pumpkin puree (this is a great tutorial)
- Bake my favorite fall breakfast snack, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread (I substitute fresh-ground flax seed for all of the oil)
(Pumpking Chocolate Chip Yarn) - Spin a few more Autumn-inspired yarns
- Enjoy my sweet little sheep & card some of her fleece.
What are you doing to celebrate Autumn?
