Finally

It rained today.
It lasted about 4 minutes and was accompanied by winds
that battered my ash tree and thunder that made
the pups go crazy running through the house and barking.

I don't care that it was a mere 4 minutes.

To me it's a sign that Fall is just peeking around the corner.
Honest, for sure, absolutely.... this time.
Finally
Fall

To celebrate I cut up 11 Granny Smiths and Galas,
tossed them with 1 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water;


chucked it all in the cooker and after a few hours,


rough mashed 'em and lit my favorite sugar cookie candle.


I believe I can hear the leaves
softly falling to the ground.

Finally.

Way ahead of you here Suzan...we've lit a fire the past two nights. Of course, it could have to do with being up in the wee hours of the morning watching the golf from Wales that has added to my chilliness!

I swear I could smell those apples cooking as I read your delicious post.

I wish I could send you some of the rain we've had....about 3 days worth...but I'm not complaining. As long as yesterday was gorgeous for the wedding.
I finally made an apple cobbler. Doesn't it just make the whole house smell incredible?
