The last couple nights and mornings have been exceptionally cold. It's starting to feel like Fall!!! Autumn is my favorite season. Pumpkins, apples, soups & chili, baking, changing foliage: All those usual things that come to mind are great, but there's also something about Fall that stirs up some primal instincts in me that I love being in touch with.
Preparing for winter, though hectic sometimes, is fun and satisfying. Sprucing up animal shelters, stacking firewood, freezing and canning the garden harvest, making sure we're stocked up on paper goods and supplies, and freezing batters and doughs so we can bake (thus heating the house) at a moment's notice... It's all part of providing for our family, so should we be snowed in for days or even weeks, we have all we need. Consider it extreme nesting, prepping, or whatever you want, I love knowing that should we be cut off from the world during the winter, we will be snug, fed, and happy.... Actually, I'm kind of hoping for it :)
