early signs

Although Portland is still experiencing summer weather, this morning I went outside to a beautiful sunny day, but with a cool breeze and crisp air.  This immediately brought a smile to my face.  With Autumn comes sweaters, boots, scarves, warm drinks, pumpkins, and Sunday baking.  Of course I can bake any season, but Fall is my favorite considering the main ingredient can be pumpkin.  There's also something special about getting cozy on a Sunday and baking while it's too chilly to do anything outside.
