This year ours will be a scorcher, but the shorter days are a promise of a lovely autumn ahead.

I think for the occasion I should bake something festive. I'll look through my bread recipes and see what looks tempting. Or I could make a pie. I believe I have a lot of frozen pumpkin to use, and pumpkin pies aren't just for Thanksgiving. (Since I don't load all of my food and drinks with pumpkin pie spice flavoring, the occasional actual pie with the spices is a treat.)
