The change of seasons gives us a jolt that we need. Summer is over, although it is still so damn hot out, but we have to blame climate change for that. Fall is fall, no matter what the temps are. So everybody in the burbs buys mums and pumpkins. We look forward to wearing sweaters (I don’t–since menopause, I wonder how any woman can wear one; they are so HOT). The other things people do in fall:
- Make all sorts of recipes utilizing squash
- Wear socks with their Birkenstocks
- Think about roasting a chicken
- Get one last pedicure
- Consider growing a beard
- Take the kids to get lost in a corn maze
- Ride around looking for “the foliage”
- Try mulled cider one more time, but it’s still awful
- Order an inflatable figure
- Break a tooth on a candy apple
- Sit around a fire pit, even if it’s 70 degrees out there
- Put nuts in a bowl with a nutcracker, yet nobody eats them
- Trip on a root while hiking
- Make chili
- Stock up on lip balm
- Stop shaving their legs
- Visit a “haunted house”
Next up, winter. The season we love until the holidays, and then it just gets depressing…
