The late summer in San Francisco has ended and temperatures have started dropping. We bundled up and headed to the farmer’s market over the weekend. We enjoyed the brisk autumn air and the simple joys of carrying out mundane everyday tasks in each other’s company.

As it’s been getting colder, it’s the perfect time to make some apple pie at home and sip some apple cider. We found some Rome Beauty apples at the market as well as fresh vegetables and squash.

The coming weeks are looking busy ahead, so we’re looking forward to the quiet respite this weekend. I’m looking forward to the wafting smell of cinnamon apples and curling up on the couch with a good book.

Here are some other ideas you might like:

• Visit a tea shop and find your new favorite tea.

• Cook a pot of chai.

• Watch a romantic comedy on Netflix or binge watch Season 2 of Jack Ryan on Amazon Prime.

• Find a new indoor plant or succulent to keep some green in your life as the seasons change.
