Brown Sugar Time
FALL IN DECATUR A specialtime of year. I call it Brown Sugar Time, because now when I bake or cook I will use lots of Brown Sugar. The Leaves are changing color now and on Decatur Street, the magnificent oaks are ablaze again. Wet red brick streets sprinkled with fallen leaves. Caramel apples are again available at Del's Popcorn Shop. Time to ride over to Arthur, to get Freshly pressed Apple cider from the Amish Orchard, a sweet Halloween treat whether ice cold or warmed with mulled spices. These are the signs of the continuity in my life. These are some of the reasons I stay. It's also time for the haunted Decatur Tours, and my spirited friends in the nearby cemetary will frolic for a time. This is a homey time of the year, makes me want to knit and quilt, makes me want to walk in the woods. And it mostly makes me want to bake, oh how I want to bake....with Brown Sugar of course......
