Fall Blog #2

Mrs Wiesner: I am very sorry i got the due time wrong. I thought you meant by the end of monday and i could do it when i got home from my afterschool activities. I hope you understand and forgive my confusion. so here is the second draft:


Imagine picking apples on a warm breezy afternoon. This is one of the images I get when I think of fall. It is the best season because of the flavorful food, ideal weather, and fun activities that come with it.
The foods of fall are special because they incorporate cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. I always look forward to foods that have pumpkin as a main ingredient. On cool early mornings, I wake up, go to Starbucks and get a pumpkin spice latte and a pumpkin scone. Not to mention the delicious pumpkin pie my mom makes for thanksgiving dessert. Fall is apple season. I cannot go through fall with out having apples. The apples are so fresh and ripe and taste good any way they are prepared. I love cold apple cider on a warm afternoon when I get home from school; it quenches my thirst and tastes so good when the refreshing taste passes through my mouth. And I like it hot on a cool and windy night to warm me up. Fall is also the primetime for hot homemade chunky applesauce with ginger and cinnamon.
When I first wake up the grass outside is wet with morning dew. I love those afternoons where I go outside and the cool crisp breeze creates the perfect temperature. I walk to the end of the driveway to get the mail, crunching the orange leaves as I go. Rabbits and deer scurry through the empty woods with barren trees. In the evening the air is chilly. The wind that is blowing my hair around chills my bones and I have to put on a sweater.
The pleasant fall weather invites me to be active outside. It is time to go to the orchard to pick apples or play soccer in the cool weather. At night you look at the stars with your family or gather around the bonfire with your friends and roast marshmallows. In the morning, you go downstairs and lay in front of the dying fire. Fall is the perfect time to bundle up and go on a hot air balloon ride and admire the scenery.
Fall is a refreshing, fun and completely lovely time of year. It is time to start school and get focused on things. But one must not forget to appreciate the weather food and activities that come with it.
