As much as I love the warm sunny days of summer and am sad to say goodbye, my sadness doesn't last too long when the Oregon trees burst into vibrant colors. The wind starts to pick up and all of the smells of Autumn swirl through the air. Then just like that, my heart is given over to the Fall.
Away go the shorts and flip flops and out come the boots and coats to usher in that warm coziness. This change doesn't just happen in my wardrobe. It happens in my kitchen as well.
I love the spicy sweet flavors that come with the Fall season. Being able to snuggle inside with a chai tea latte and maple/cinnamon treat makes the first pitter patter of what is guaranteed to be the next six wet months of Oregon rain, totally bearable.
