You know how when you have finished a bag of peanut M&Ms and you crinkle up the bag and stuff it in your pocket and then later you pull the bag out to throw it away and you find a few still in the bag that you missed?

The last few nice days of fall are the bonus M&Ms.
Spring is walking into the kitchen in the morning, bleary eyed, fumbling with Mr. Coffee, and finding a shiny new bag on the counter, left there for you the night before by your wife.
For sheer indulgence, you have to go with spring, but the best ones are fall.
