FALL IS FINALLY HERE. For a pale redhead like myself, this excites me to no end. First, I don’t have to worry about burning myself, looking like a ghost in summer clothing, or getting too hot (redheads are overly sensitive to temperature extremes) until next summer! Fall means boots, sweatshirts and for me, getting the wear the colors that actually compliment my hair. Fall also typically means lots of food. Whether we like it or not, the holiday season is quickly approaching. Candy this month, turkey next month and ham and lots and lots of sides and desserts the month after that. This is a time of year where people typically over eat. It’s just in our nature. It’s getting colder, clothes are getting baggier and we worry less about what we’re eating. Don’t forget that this month, the Farmers Markets are still open! You can eat healthy all year long. Fresh fruits and veggies are still in season and you can get them locally. The Bardstown Farmers Market is open until Halloween and they’d love to see you stop by! Plus, when you get your fall veggies, stop by the Extension Office for some great recipes for them! Also, be sure to check out the next page for the upcoming classes– a few of which involve cooking some of those fresh fall veggies. Enjoy!
