Pumpkin Pie & Apple Cider... YUM!!!

Fall is one of my favorite seasons. It's a lot better in Michigan, but I guess I'll take it anywhere! I love when the leaves on the trees change colors to red and orange and yellow...it's so pretty. I love how it is chilly enough for a light jacket in the early mornings and then warms up after lunch.
My absolute favorite thing about fall is the food! Pumpkin pie is my favorite kind of pie in general, but it just tastes better for some reason in the fall months. Apple cider is great too...cold is definitely better than hot. Growing up, my parents would take me and my little brother to the Cider Mill every year. In Oklahoma, nobody has heard of Cider Mills...what a shame! We would go and ride the hayride, drink apple cider and eat fresh, warm cinnamon sugar doughnuts. Then we would buy really good Michigan apples and apple cider to take home with us. I can still feel the hay poking my through my clothes and smell the freshly made doughnuts! Those are some of my favorite childhood memories of this season. Even if I do end up living in the south, I will take my family on a special trip up north to a good ol' Cider Mill!
