Autumn is Here!



One of my most favourite things is the changing of seasons. My favourite season is definitely summer, I love not having to layer up or put a jacket on.
I love watching the leaves change colours. There really is no denying how beautiful autumn is! I also love the first snow fall (but then it stays way too long here in Edmonton) and watching the snow melt.
Sunday was the perfect  last day of summer. Summer weather (24 degrees Celsius) with a beautiful fall scenery to enjoy during a walk through the River Valley. However, the temperatures have been dropping this week and we have had to bring out our hats, mitts and coats.
The autumn/fall season seems so short but with lots to enjoy. I have already had a pumpkin spice steamer (steamed milk) from Starbucks. They came out on my birthday so I actually got one for free. 😁 I bought a large pumpkin from Superstore about 2 weeks ago to puree. So far I have made pumpkin smoothies and pumpkin potato soup. The rest is in the freezer waiting to be turned into something delicious. What is your favourite thing to make with pumpkin?
I have put the fall door wreath up and also bought Dominic’s Halloween costume. I am so excited for his first experience trick-or-treating and the fact that this is the year he will mostly be willing to share his candy with mom and dad.
Also, can’t forget that fall is also the season for celebrating Thanksgiving! Being a dual citizen family, we celebrate both Canadian and American Thanksgiving. This year our wedding anniversary will be on Canadian Thanksgiving so it will make the day even more special!
What are you most excited about for this season?
