  4. I could really get behind baking all of those wonderful fall goodies. I’ve already made some apple butter, usually with picked apples from my parent’s trees, but they didn’t get any good apples this year. We’ll have to jump in a neighbor’s leaf pile because our tree refuses to drop its leaves until the first snow fall.
