After several unpleasant and uncharacteristic heat waves this month, it seems the Autumn weather is arriving! I had to wear a long sleeve shirt while out delivering some cupcakes and I could not be more excited.
Before moving to Korea I had lived in Jacksonville, Fl for 13 years. I have not experienced an actual Autumn since I moved away from New York when I was 11 years old. Now to some this may seem inconsequential, but to me this is a huge deal. I love Autumn. It is one of the prettiest seasons of the year and finally, this year I get to watch the leaves change color :)
I had been told over and over that Chuseok usually bookmarked the coming of the cooler temperatures, but we experienced a very weird extended summer. It started to cool down and then all of a sudden it was in the upper 80's again! Needless to say I did not take this gracefully. I have complained about the heat for weeks. Why? Because every year in Florida I have endured the extreme heat that lasts most of the year. I am in Korea now and this country is supposed to have four distinct seasons and I am very eager to experience them all! And now I get what I want because I am wearing a sweater! I cannot wait to take as many photographs of the trees as possible because let me tell you something people, Autumn is gorgeous. With it comes warm clothes, pumpkin and apple desserts, and turkey! This will be my first Thanksgiving and Christmas away from home and also my first holiday season as a married lady so of course I am very excited to begin planning all the festivities :)
Now if you will excuse me, I think a hocho is in order.
