Autumn began – in the northern hemisphere at least –
Saturday, September 22. It ends Friday, December 21. That puts today about as
close as you can get to the middle of the season. Have you done half the things
you meant to do before winter sets in? Have you gone apple picking or tasted
real apple cider? (Apple juice does NOT count.) Did you share a scary movie or
a corn maze with family and friends? Did you carve a pumpkin and roast the seeds?
Have you gone on a hayride or a fall foliage road trip? Have you baked an apple
pie or a loaf of pumpkin bread? Did you plant a few daffodils or crocuses or
hyacinths or tulips for next spring? Have you bottled a batch of applesauce or
stewed tomatoes or grape jelly or pear jam? If there’s a lot left on your
autumn bucket list, get moving. Winter will be here before you know it.
