the allure and enticement of seasonal pleasures

The allure of Autumn entices me to satisfy my senses and draws me into it’s pleasures.

I crave homemade applesauce with cinnamon and nutmeg,
warm apple crisp topped with cream,
Fruit pies and cinnamon rolls.

I am drawn to culinary artistry using warm spices.
Creating savory meals and comforting soups, stews and chili
Warm and airy homemade bread

Embracing my love for glorious and exotic flavors of teas, chai and mint cocoa poured into large green mugs
The ritual of steeping mulling spices in steaming apple juice

I desire to embark on journeys-
a road trip adventure taking in beauty along the way.
Exploring a quaint town,
experiencing people, shops and cafes

Wrapping myself in soft coats and satin scarves
leather boots

The fragrance of autumn air

Hiding away for a few days in a cozy cabin in the woods
Longing to become one with the woods,
hiking meandering trails
Absorbing every warm breath and ray of sun
