A new season

There are plenty of biblical references to living our lives in seasons. I am starting to discover, acknowledge, and embrace these seasons. Particularly, I am learning to live in the current season.

It was completely pissing me off a few weeks ago that people were already talking about pumpkin-spiced crap while it was still summer (yes, I have an anger issue...and I'm totally not dealing with it).

But now that it is the cold season, here are things I'm going to be looking forward to:
  • Hot pot - yessssss!!
  • Pretty leaves
  • Costume parties
  • Candy overload from Halloween
  • Wearing the 1,200 turtleneck sweaters I own
  • Baking
  • Chai tea
  • Crock pot cooking
  • Making cháo/粥 (congee)
  • Christmas music
  • Candles
  • Winter gourds
  • Wearing tights
  • Chicken noodle soup
  • Digging for razor clams...with our kids
  • New TV season!
What are you looking forward to this season?

Even though it's not been a terribly hot summer in the PNW, I am looking forward to some crisp fall weather. And not something I'm looking forward to but have already experienced: Pumpkin Spice Hershey's Kisses. Yeah, I went there ;)

Haha! Some friends gave us a bag of pumpkin spiced M&Ms. The bag is now half empty (or half full).
