I am a fall fan.
Not the Fall from the biblical sense…but the season of fall.
Cinnamon is one of my favorite flavors, and it simply tastes and smells better in the fall.
I will usually give in and have one PSL. Only one. I don’t really do all the fancy coffee stuff, but one totally artificially flavored “pumpkin” coffee somehow feels appropriate.
I have apparently mentioned this enough over the years that this year multiple people personally messaged me to let me know the PSL was back.
I fear I have misled everyone.
I don’t love PSLs. I love fall.
I love cooler weather, football nearly every day, bonfires in the backyard…I really love fall.
But here is the problem…those people messaged me about the PSL coming back weeks ago. It was still the height of summer. Hot. People on vacation. Mid-August.
Definitely not fall.

We are living in fake fall. It’s not real fall. Fall doesn’t start until…wait for it…Thursday, September 22nd. That is a month from now…and yet we are in the midst of fake fall. Pumpkin and cinnamon things are sneaking into our grocery carts and coffee orders. Our pineapple and coconut have been prematurely traded for pumpkin and chai. People are growing out their facial hair…maybe that is just me…and assessing their flannel and boots. We claim an 85 degree morning that is overcast as that cool fall air. We see (and buy) apple orchard soap, fall farmers market candles, and crisp autumn morning wax melts. Just for clarity, all of those things smell lovely as soap, candles, and wax melts…but they smell nothing like the actual thing. Apple orchards smell like…well…I’m not sure what they smell like…but probably not cinnamon apple sauce soap.
