OK, everyone, here in Everett, WA, 25 miles N. of Seattle, autumn is here. The rains have settled in, and today we are experiencing a horrific wind storm. It is normal for this time of year, but just last week it was sunny and in the 70's. Today, it's grey and rainy and the winds are so bad that branches are flying off just like pin needles dropping to the ground.
The leaves are changing colors, my apple tree is ready to be picked, and I've winterized the deck pots and put away the patio furniture. The only thing left is the grill; but she winters the outdoors quite well.
So everyone in the great Pacific Northwest, buckle down, get ready for those storms (I can remember in the early 1980's we had a wind storm on Thanksgiving day, power went out and people had to cook their turkeys on their Weber Charcoal grills or gas grills) and nestle in for a long winter!
Time for apple cider, winter soups, fireplaces, corn mazes, pumpkins and scarecrows. Happy Harvest to all.
