Loaded Broccoli Cheese Potato Soup

This morning I felt the slightest nip of Fall in the air! Maybe it was wishful thinking, but it really did feel cooler. As much as I love Summer, I'm ready for Fall and all of the beauty and comfort that comes with it!

I was born in the Fall. I'm an October baby. Fall is such a transitional time of year. Not just the weather, but the kids going back to school, and the promise of change is never more prominent than when you walk out on a crisp Autumn morning and see your breath, and feel the nip in the air.

If you are lucky enough to live somewhere that has Fall colors in the foliage, that's a great bonus!

We have trees galore up here in Washington. Though we are the Evergreen State, we have our share of deciduous trees, especially Maples. They turn the most amazing colors in the Fall.

Though we sure don't beat New England for Fall color, it's really nice! By the way, I dream of visiting New England in the Fall. Sigh, one day! On the list!
