i am getting achy for autumn to present itself to us here. one morning last week we woke up to a chilly fifty-something degrees. the boys practically thought we had moved to the yukon. {they've adapted to this warm weather much better than i have.} but it was only a ghost of colder days. it was gone before lunch time. the next morning the sun was shining and the a/c was running as i chauffeured them to school once again.
this morning i opened the windows to find that a mist had settled itself over our backyard in the early hours. it looked like the kind of mist that nips your nose and tingles your cheeks. it looked like it could be autumn out there. so i set off to the kitchen to make a breakfast fit for the season, not daring to open the door and find that the beautiful fog was actually warm and soggy. in our mostly empty dining room, we sat around the table and enjoyed homemade cinnamon raisin oatmeal, orange slices and cinnamon toast. it was delicious and i still haven't opened a single door. i decided i should make autumn for breakfast more often. it might just pull me through these final days of slummer.
happy weekend.
