While I still have the chance, I’m going to spend September baking cakes, simmering soups, and slow cooking meats. I’m actually dreading this fall though, since I return to work after a wonderful summer of maternity leave with my new daughter, Anabelle.

The air is crisp but the sky is still blue and sunny.
