The Flavors and Fragrances of Autumn

Missy Tippens

After Ruthy's post yesterday, I thought it appropriate to talk about the smells of fall. :)

I've already talked about the pumpkin craze. Here's one of my recent breakfasts. You can tell I've been bitten by the pumpkin bug!

I think I've shared in past years about my love of fall fragrances. Here are some recent soap purchases.

I've pulled out the new Thanksgiving hand towel. And on my to-do list is searching the attic in our new house to find the fall wreath for the front door. I hope it made the move intact!

I have mums in the planters on the front porch. And I've pulled out the warm, soft throws to put on the back of the couch (although unlike Ruthy's snow, we've been dealing with record highs in the 80's!)

At our church, the flowers have been gorgeous fall arrangements done by the members of the flower guild. Here's a photo from this past Sunday. Gorgeous!

And how fun that they used these cute peppers (at least I think that's what they are!).

Now, to include some sort of cooking, I thought I'd share the type "cooking" I've been doing lately. LOL 

Here's one example of enjoying a fall fruit. I bought a yummy salad kit. Pear Gorgonzola. There were tiny bits of dried pears mixed with a sweet, crunchy nut topping. YUM.

Though I always hate to say goodbye to summer, I'm glad for the colors and flavors and fragrances of fall. What are your favorites?
