Autumn fades rather quickly. The trees go from leafy green to nude in the blink of an eye if you don’t stop to pay attention. It’s a transition that I love; the colours, that brief but perfect time we call sweater weather, the seasonal treats. One of the loveliest sights for me is the sugar maple in our backyard. When the leaves become bright orange and the sun is out, our house is flooded with warm light. For a couple hours a day, a couple weeks a year, autumn is aglow.The oranges and reds have since fallen to the ground, and snow is on the way, but these macaroons are sure to continue brightening the season.
