Today is the first day of Fall and the temperatures are starting to drop( in some states). The temperature is currently 70 here in Texas, but that is probably thanks to the tropical storm. I know, next week it will be back up into the 90’s, but for now I am going to enjoy every minute of the cooler temperature and wonderful breeze. It is a nice break from the heat and a timely reminder of temperatures soon to come our way.
With the dark skies and occasional claps of lightening that are occurring, a slice of warm fruit bread with a cup of coffee sounds good. I think making this apple, raisin, pecan bread is the perfect bread to fit the bill.
