Fall is a beautiful time of year here in Michigan. I love the incredible palate of colorful trees and shrubbery. Nature’s pure fragrance of leaves and earth as well as the temptations of pumpkin pie, baked apples, and hot mulled cider create a wonderful setting. This time of year is also the time to pull out the winter woolies and time for some old fashion cuddling. It is a time for Autumn Romance.
>Plan a special morning. Romance isn’t just for nighttime. Make a special breakfast using flavors of the season...apple turnovers, cinnamon rolls, pumpkin bread to name a few. Add a little pumpkin spice creamer to your coffee. Try in it cocoa!
> Rake a pile of leaves and yes…. Jump in! It’s not just for kids. Let your hair down and play! Laughing is great foreplay.
> Hit the trails. Go for a walk holding hands or a nice bike ride. Stop periodically to enjoy the view. This is a great way to stay in shape and relieve tension as well as giving you a chance to talk. However, if you come to a hill… I dare you to roll down it!
> Enjoy the patio at night and build a bonfire for two. Curl up together under a blanket and sip a cup of hot apple cider.
> Have a night in and start up your fireplace. Slip into something sexy. Pour your favorite wine and play your favorite love songs.
> Make time to simply sit and share a drink together. Try a spiced wine or an apple whiskey.
