Autumn Scents

You know, I just love Autumn.  The colors, the sound of leaves rustling underfoot, the snow wafting from overhead…wait, what, SNOW?  Yes, it’s snowing outside my window as I write this.  So far, it’s not sticking.  But that’s not what this is about – besides, I don’t want to give the white stuff any attention just yet.  Anyway, to get back on track, I canned pickled beets yesterday.  The scent is like none other – I know that’s a cliche, but I can’t help it.  The scent of the cinnamon and cloves fills the house, and I just want to bathe myself in it.  Okay, I’d look a little wierd after the beet juice turned me magenta.  But I highly suggest pickling beets sometime just for the aroma.  Today, I baked apple pies.  Again – that scent!  I’m stopping now – the apple pies are calling me.  Yum!
