Fall is finally here!

Being a Midwest girl at heart I still have trouble with the weather here in Louisiana!  Yesterday it finally felt like fall (after what seemed like 10 months of summer).  I know the leaves won't change color, but the feeling of cool, crisp air brings a smile to my face. I celebrated by making an apple crisp!  Yumm!

The recipe in case you are interested:
Apple Crisp

4 cups apples (peeled and sliced)
2/3-3/4 c packed brown sugar
1/2 c flour
1/2 c rolled oats
3/4 t cinnamon
3/4 t nutmeg
1/3 c soft butter

Place apples in greased 8in pan.  Blend remaining ingredients until crumbly.  Spread over apples.  Bake at 375 for 30-35 minutes until apples are tender.

So today I am wearing handknit socks (so is DH) and Knox (the cat) is using the cooler weather as an excuse to catch a few extra winks!

Cat's don't need an excuse to catch some extra naps.

You are killing me with apple crisp... headlines read...

I would have a tough time adjusting to not having seasons. Or seasons being different than what I'm used to. That's what I love about being in the center of the US, seasons. I'm glad you had a day were socks were reasonable. :)
