One of my favorite things about autumn: perfectly ripe pears.

That is all.

1. Me too.

The local pear season is over, alas.

2. We're right in the thick of it here in Minnesota, and I just can't get enough of them!

:hi:

4. Ours peak around Columbus Day.

I buy them straight from the growers at the farmer's market and they sell by ripeness --eat today, eat in three days, eat in a week. It's great!

3. That is ALL?

That's all you can say about autumn, the best season? :D

September and October are my favorite months of the year.

7. *lol* No no, that is all for that post! It's ONE of the things I love about

autumn.
There are many others!

5. Eddie Izzard has something to say about pears...

Pears can just fuck off too. 'Cause they're gorgeous little beasts, but they're ripe for half an hour, and you're never there. They're like a rock or they're mush. In the supermarket, people banging in nails. "I'll just put these shelves up, mate, then you can have the pear." … So you think, "I'll take them home and they'll ripen up." But you put them in the bowl at home, and they sit there, going, "No! No! Don't ripen yet, don't ripen yet. Wait til he goes out the room! Ripen! Now now now!"

(I do like pears, but he's right on about when they're ripe and when they're not ;))

8. Hee hee, that is good! And all too often true. I always try to pick

them at various stages of greenness, and I buy very few at a time, 'cos there's little in the food world worse than a mushy pear...eeesh.

10. I love all the stuff with pumpkin in it.

Pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin spice latte, pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, toasted pumpkin seeds.

I love cinnamon in the fall. Making oak leaf garlands. Cooling off from triple digit temperatures.

12. Those are all lovely things! I made some pumpkin muffins a couple

of weeks ago :-)

13. Autumn colors are beautiful, aren't they? We live at the edge of

a wooded area along the river, and kind of on a point between two ravines - lots of gorgeous color in fall!
