Response Magic 
Definitely growing up in Michigan the fall colors are a “thing”!! So whether you prefer to call it Fall or Autumn, either are unbeLEAFable!! Such a splendor of color and bounty as the apple and pumpkin harvest is underway. No doubt all the northern states have their share of beautiful color in the fall. But it does come down to our fond childhood memories of what fall means to you. And I have plenty that bring back many happy memories!!
Because Michigan is known for their Fall color tours, they map out the best road trips to enjoy this spectacular display. Along with the roadside farmer stands to get our apples and pumpkins. (Can you tell I love apple and pumpkin pie!!) As a child our family went on many of these excursions every weekend and had a blast. And learned a lot, the history of the little towns we visited and yes geography.
Fall or Autumn why both?
Obviously both terms are interchangeable and acceptable. The term Fall is thought to come from and old english word “fiaell” which means to fall from a height. And the term Autumn came from the Latin word “autumnus,” a latin root referring to the passing of the year. Also because of the “Autumnal Equinox” which occurs around September 21st, an equinox means the length of day and night are equal.
Fall or Autumn prepares us for Winter
To be sure the cooling in temperature and shorter days is preparing us for winter. The animals are gathering food to store to sustain them in the coming months. Likewise us humans are preparing our homes to weather the cold months ahead. And starting to plan out our fall and winter holidays Thanksgiving and Christmas. Because if it is your turn to host the holiday party I have some great time saving tips.
No doubt the Turkey is the star of Thanksgiving dinner and I have a great time saving and delicious way to roast your turkey. I have used this way to roast my turkey in a paper bag for over 45 years. This will save you from basting and checking the bird so you can enjoy your company!! So please save yourself some time and check out my recipe for turkey roasted in a paper bag here.
