Yesterday marked the first day of Autumn, hand up if this is your favorite time of year! To mark the arrival of the new equinox we even busted out some Fall / Halloween decorations. The act prompted a serious debate with the Queen on the accepted timing of décor placement. My obsessive compulsive tendencies dictate a regimented schedule for autumn activities: Sept. 1- begin burning apple scented candles; Sept. 15- transition to apple/pumpkin candles, begin eating peanuts mixed with 3:1 ratio of candy corn; Oct 1- pumpkin candles, decorate with pumpkins & mums and commence baking all things pumpkin.
By the time I am mixing candy corns with peanuts and searching for caramel covered green apple suckers, it's time for early teal season. Early Teal Season is a gateway season for regular duck season which is still a few weeks away.
