A Fall Day Crisp as a Washington Apple
Driving home from my exercise class this morning I noticed the row of trees which always signal the height of fall with their gorgeous colors, has begun to change. Fall is well and truly under way. Mornings are cooler. Dusk comes earlier. The air is crisper. And the many varieties of apples begin to make […]
Falling For Autumn
It’s here–that feeling in the air, the slant of light that announces my favorite time of year–fall. I love everything about the season–pumpkin pie, red and yellow leaves, crisp air, apple cider, my birthday. Oh, sorry. Did I actually write that? My bad. Forgive the diversion. Back to the subject. Truth told, it’s the change […]
Another Romantic Season Ahead
It’s a bit gray and cloudy this morning, the kind of day that hints at the season to come. The week’s harvest moon made its appearance spectacularly as a super moon–what could be more romantic than that? But now that it’s moving to fall, we’re about to move romance indoors.

Falling for Autumn
It’s a beautiful week ahead the weather forecasters say. Maybe the best weekend of the fall. So, ditch the rake, let the lawn grow another inch or so and wait a week to see that new movie. It’s fall picnic time. Head for Esther Short Park, the coast or one last outing to the mountain […]
Can She Bake an Apple Pie?
So, apple pie. Why’s that romantic, you ask? First of all, it’s..ah…well, it’s pie. Who doesn’t like pie? You’re making something the person you care for probably loves. How can anyone resist warm pie with vanilla ice cream softening over the top? It’s sensual, it’s delicious. It’s PIE! Second, apples have that whole Adam and […]
