At this time of year, I have been yearning for those warm autumnal flavors. When the cooler temperatures come around, I find myself baking more often especially comforting goodies. Back home, cider donuts are real treat in the fall.

In the late afternoon I took a quick visit to the local pumpkin patch at Kula Country Farm. The farm overlooks the South Side and the West Maui Mountains. Nestled in a small valley, the field was overflowing with so many beautiful autumn colors.
