The unofficial end to summer has come and gone (Labor Day), the official end to summer is fast approaching (Autumnal Equinox)…and I couldn’t be happier. This is the best time of year in New England. Sure I love summer, and yeah, the dwindling daylight is a bummer, but there are just so many things I love about the fall:
● NFL, college football, fantasy football
● Pennant races, October baseball
● Foliage – I’ll admit it, I dig foliage
● Orion starts creeping up over the horizon – I’ll admit it, I dig constellations
● Stews, braised meats, roasted birds, and other comforting fare
● Crispy morning air that will wake you up better than a shot of espresso
● And of course, our wedding anniversary 
And get this, all the suffering through the tedious rain we endured during the summer is paying off in spades for the fall harvest. Cranberry and apple farmers in New England are expecting one of the most bountiful, colorful, and juiciest harvests in years. Extra helpings of cranberry sauce and apple pie all around!
