As the
fire crackles and spits beside the chocolate coloured armchairs and honey coated table, the rich aromas
of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger ooze from the walls and give off a delectable
smell that excites diners the moment they step into the grand lobby.
What I love about fall: My thoughts turn from gardening to snuggling up in front
of a warm
crackling fire, a good book and mug
of hot chocolate piled high with whipped cream... When it's still 80 degrees and it feels and
smells like fall... The sound
of the school bus ambling down our street on the first day
of school stopping at the corner to pick the precious cargo
of squealing kids... As I walk through our yard hearing the crunch
of crackling leaves... Chunky winter sweaters - every September I buy a new one... Watching our resident squirrels scurrying around our yard gathering and burying their winter stash... Replacing summer flowers with purple and white cabbages.
