amazing that year after year when fall rolls around i get more and more nostalgic and sentimental. nostalgia is a real welcome feeling for me, one of my favorites and i don't really get it. is it my connection to autumn's past? the anticipation of the oncoming winter? is it merely the change? aside from the obvious twee reasons to love fall like leaves changing, sweater weather, cool clear nights what makes it my favorite? and how come i don't need to think of any of those things when i confidently say that fall is my favorite season, based strictly on the feel outside? it's back to school for some, hockey season starts, parks close, the weather is better for working outside.... i don't really understand. but i'm excited to walk to work this morning with one more layer then i had on a week ago.and no fall is complete without a trip to the wonderful Tyrone Mill in Tyrone, Ontario. a few minutes west of where i grew up, the Tyrone Mill offers the most delectable little treats on cool autumn days. cinnamon donuts made fresh right before your eyes, candy sticks, coffee, preserves and of course, apple cider that is amazing. you get to watch them make it. the entire building is almost still totally authentic, sans the Bunn coffee maker. the upstairs still left how it was 100 years ago? saws and sanders and tons of manual woodworking tools. plus the views from upstairs out onto the mill pond are amazing. do explore this free piece of Ontario history. and eat some donuts while you're there. they are so greasy they soak through the bag and are so good.
