This year has flown at lightning speed! It's hard to believe that today is the first day of Fall. I was looking at sayings and poems about Fall and found this:
In the other gardensThe last line really grabbed my attention. I don't think of cozy bonfires and roasting marshmallows. "Fires in the Fall" look like this in my neighborhood:
And all up the vale,
From the autumn bonfires
See the smoke trail!
Pleasant summer over
And all the summer flowers,
The red fire blazes,
the grey smoke towers.
Sing a song of seasons!
Something bright in all,
Flowers in the summer
Fires in the fall!
~ Robert Louis Stevenson, Autumn Fires
Obviously, I'm praying that we don't have any fires this Fall!
I still like the idea of Fall. In fact, I made Pumpkin Muffins this morning. I made one slight change and they are delicious!
1 spice cake mix
1 15 oz can pumpkin
1/2 cup soy milk*
1. Mix all ingredients together
2. Pour into greased muffin tins
3. Bake at 350 for 23 minutes
* For years I have made these muffins with just the cake mix, pumpkin and about 1/4 cup of water. They are good, but very dense. I decided to add 1/2 cup of milk and they really turned out good. The taste is the same, but they are a little lighter. And my house smells wonderful!
