You don’t have to drink alone.
The hot, sticky summer seemed to drag on forever. September flew by. And now I’m grateful to find myself at the beginning of October, the best month of the year, with it’s crisp mornings, sunny afternoons, chilly evenings by the fire, sweaters, leaves changing colors, pumpkins, Halloween, and APPLE CIDER!
It’s delicious cold on a warm afternoon, or serve hot spiced cider for a cozy evening drink. It works well for both cocktails and mocktails. It’s a great baking ingredient. Try these doughnuts from Sally’s Baking Addiction. They’re quick and easy, but I have found it helps to use a boiled cider concentrate to get a good strong flavor. Yes, I bought mine at Williams Sonoma, please don’t tell Drew Magary!
What are some of your favorite autumn foods, beverages, and traditions?
Tbh my favourite thing about autumn and winter is having a freezing cold bedroom
Open the window, tuck meself in and use me little bedside light to read a book
Its wonderful
Also happens to be what I’m doing right now
I love a cold bedroom, and lots of blankets. It’s very cozy.
Me too! I love cranking the AC in hotel rooms and getting under all the covers.
I have the ceiling fan going full blast even in the winter.
I’m a hot sleeper, but there is something desperately wrong with all of you.
your cilantro take was definitely wrong but your are definitely right here
cold bedrooms? wtf? just the thought gives me chills
It’s nice to snuggle up under a pile of blankets!
yes, the under the blankets part is nice but at some point there’ll be an over the blankets moment and that fills me with a sense of dread…
This time of year brings out the fresh hop ales. In fact, this week should be the Fresh Hop Festival in Yakima and I am soooo sad it was cancelled. So I drowned by sorrows with a trip to my favorite beer store and stocked up. One not fresh hop I bought has a cool label with RBG & Biden called Vote or (Literally) Die!

I’m not a beer drinker but I get a kick out of seeing the brews you like.
Looks like they are about to take Trump to Walter Reed & he has a fever. Looks like he is not faking it. This happy hour is getting happier by the moment!
Out of an abundance of caution. Because that’s how trump lives, cautiously. Rolling my eyes.
I didn’t know Christmas was in October
See? There is a God.
…can’t remember if someone already said this but I’ve read a couple of folks in different places saying not just that there’s a god but that RBG just successfully plead her first case before him?
They just choppered Trump to Walter Reed Hospital.
On the one hand, they need to be extra cautious for the slightest hint of anything.
On the other hand, holy crap. I may need a big drink when I get home.
Jinx! I think we posted this at the same time.
Cheers!
I heard the chopper(s) from my office. Crazy.
You’re in the DC area? You poor, poor thing.
He’s been given Regeneron, as a precautionary measure. Since when do doctors prescribe experimental medicine as a precautionary measure? What should we make of this, anything?
THIS! I def raised my eyebrows at the chopper and the treatment. We may have a new president sooner than expected..
Maybe the doctor prescribing it is on our side and just wants to see what happens when you pump him full of experimental shit.
i think that means trump is going to be patient zero for the zombie apocalypse
and thats fantastic news!
no way that fat old fuck ends up being a fast snarly zombie
wooo classic shufflers it is
i better get into the attic and look over me rounders bats for hairline fractures
nothing worse than equipment failure
I don’t think I have much in the way of autumn traditions, but in a few weeks the hooded mergansers will be making an extended stop on our lake. They always roll through in the fall and spring and are just beautiful birds. I also like to watch the trees on the island turn colors–it’s a good mix of hues.
I love the leaves changing color, and when they start to fall, and swirl in the breeze. I’ll have to google hooded mergansers. I don’t know if we have them here.
I’m guessing they aren’t in KY. I never saw them when I lived in TN. Look them up though because they really are striking.
Oh, those are gorgeous!
Yeah, very cool.

My daughter says the same thing. But I’d rather be cold.
