Happy Fall!

We did celebrate Mabon yesterday. No dramatic ritual but we talked about the equinox and balance and the start of the quiet season between Mabon and Samhain. And we made applesauce in the crockpot which was totally yummy. And easy peasy: core and skin (optional) some apples and put them in the crockpot with just the tiniest bit of water (or none, if you are using soft, juicier apples). Cook on high a couple of hours or low all day. Stir. We added a couple of shakes of cinamon, but even that wasn't necessary. I used a mix of Paula Reds and Goldenrods and left some of the reds' skins on to add a little color to the sauce. It was so good. I did manage to save some to have with pork chops tomorrow night.

That autumnal crispness as entered the air. Things seem very clear now.
