My Secret: My No Like Autumn

I know, it's weird.  But it's true.  I really don't like the season fall.  I actually got really mad about it the other day and was in a big bad mood!  

I can try to explain, but I still don't think people get it.  

I just don't like how I KNOW it will get cold for months, and everything will turn brown, and everything dies.  It's stupid.  I KNOW the heat in the south is oppressive, but I feel like I can do so much more with the boys during the spring and summer than the fall and winter.  

So there it is.  I hates autumn.  

I've been trying to be in a better mood about it, and since the weather hasn't been so hot we've been doing a lot of bike riding and walks.  I've also picked up running again.  

And who doesn't love restocking her pantry with baking goods?  I've been trying perfect my pie making abilities.  I've tried a few different crust recipes and ideas.  Most have failed, so I am really grateful for my mother-in-law's "no fail pie crust".  It truly is!  Yay!
