Okay, so I was a little off. It’s actually 46 days until the first day of Autumn. Oops. :simplelaugh:

But still...not too far away! And it would surely be nice if it comes a bit early for a change. 🍂🍃🍁

Crisp air and beautiful foliage

22 more days!

I hate hot weather! I love autumn--the colors, the air, the ability to wear long pants again...

Vegan Fall Scones
3 cups (375g) Self Raising Flour (plus more for dusting)
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 cup (112g) Vegan Butter/Margarine
4 Tbsp (56g) Caster Sugar (also called Super Fine Sugar)*
3/4 cup (180ml) Almond Milk (plus more for brushing the tops)*
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
2 Tbsp Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)*
For Serving:
Strawberry Jam
Vegan Butter or
Whipped Coconut Cream
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 430°F
Sift the flour into a mixing bowl and add salt and baking powder.
Add the vegan butter and rub in with your fingers until the mix is crumbly.
Add the caster sugar.
Then add the almond milk, vanilla extract and lemon juice and mix in with a spoon.
Flour your work surface and your hands, and add extra flour as needed as you move the mix out of the mixing bowl and roll it with your hands into a big ball.
If the dough is sticky at any point, add more flour.
Flatten it out so that there is space to cut out 4 scones.
Dip a smooth cutter in flour and then cut out 4 scones and place them on a parchment lined baking tray.
Roll the remaining dough and cut out 2 more scones.
Roll again and cut out another 2 scones, with anything left over becoming the final scone.
Brush the tops of the scones with almond milk.
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden on top.
Serve with jam and butter or whipped coconut cream & a hot cup of tea:byebye:

-FOOTBALL
-The leaves changing colors. The burnt orange ones are my favorite.
-The crispness of the air
-The ability to have a bonfire and actually be able to enjoy it
-The smell of wood burning
-The leaves crunching when you walk on them

The downside of the leaves is raking them! This part I detest. It is fun piling them up and watching the kids enjoy jumping into them though.

You need to join us on a camping trip or here at Peaceful Ridge.

I would love that!

I'll keep ya posted as fall starts to show here. We aren't far from the Blue Ridge Parkway and some great campgrounds.
I just spent over a week on vacation near Spruce Pine NC and Mount Mitchell, at a Lodge with an amazing view of the mountains. Wish I could send you some pictures.

I'm good with a simple rake and bucket!
