The nice thing about gloomy autumn weather is that it’s perfect for a spooky feeling for Halloween. You never know what might be crawling around in the mist that hovers over the ground or the fog that blinds your path forward.
Plus, there’s plenty of opportunities on cold days for hot, spiked cider (isn’t it hot, spiced cider? [I prefer it with rum, but to each their own, I say {hey, it’s five o’clock somewhere}]).
The trick to have a great autumn is to enjoy the little things, like the change in the leaves. If you get bogged down by the fact that summer’s leaving and winter’s coming or sad because most days it’ll rain or just don’t really like Halloween, just remember that without autumn, we wouldn’t have Thanksgiving. And, without Thanksgiving, we wouldn’t have Black Friday. And, if we didn’t have Black Friday no one would do any Christmas shopping and then were would we be on December 25th? (Sitting in church or surrounded by family) We’d actually have to talk about something other than the new swag we got and have no new swag to keep us distracted while other people try to talk to us. What a terrible thing.
So, enjoy your autumn, walk through an apple orchard or sit through a hayride [haunted optional], get lost in a corn maze, or just sit at home sipping warm apple cider on a cold, cool, or average temperature day [to be fair, it’s just as refreshing on a hot day…if you keep the cider colder {insert rum in either instance (as long as you’re 21 and not planning on driving)}].
And, donuts go great with cider. You’re welcome!
