Autumn rituals - got any?
11 years ago
Aren't these beautiful first weeks of Fall just made for cozy reassuring rituals?
Got any seasonal habits? Maybe recipes you only make in Autumn? Or a particular place you like to visit? Or a perfume you only wear for several weeks every year?
Here's mine:
1. Drink morning coffee by the open window and feel its aroma mix with the first chill of the air - check.
2. Celebrate Harvest Moon, eat copious amounts of Chinese moon cakes - check.
3. Wear Arpege - check.
4. Make the first Masala Chai of the year - check.
5. Buy roast chestnuts from a street vendor.
6. Drink Beaujolais Nouveau.
7. Visit the Annual Embassy Bazaar, spend money on weird stuff.
8. Break out the scarves (all 20+ of them).
9. See the chrysanthemum exhibition.
10. Walk through the bohemian hutongs, take lots of pictures, drink coffee from a paper cup to defrost the fingers.
Still got 7 (oops, 6) to go, so many delights planned!
