Could Fall have arrived?

I know everyone has noticed and is thoroughly enjoying these wonderful Autumn temperatures. This is my absolute favorite time of year. Use to, it was because I knew my birthday was coming soon, NOW, it's in spite of my birthday coming. lol
This is the type of weather that makes me feel alive and productive. I want to bake, sew, be crafty, play with the dogs outside, all of those things. I feel energized.
But, since it stinks so badly outside due to the outbreak of fires surrounding my home, it's hard to breathe too deeply out there.
And the baking will have to hold off until I can do some last minute studying. I have my first medical terminology test today. I can take it anytime before 7:00 pm. I'm going to knock it out early and get it out of the way.
Once I finish I'm going to make some banana bread this afternoon. I have 5 bananas getting softer by the second. I think that will be my recipe for the day.

Banana Nut Bread
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
3 bananas, mashed
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Mix baking powder, soda, salt, flour. Cream butter and add sugar gradually. Add eggs, one at a time. Mix thoroughly. Add bananas to dry mixture. Gradually add to creamed mixture. Mix well. Add nuts and pur into a well-greased loaf pan. Bake at 350 for 45-60 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand in pan 10 mintues. Remove and cool completely. Be careful not to take out of the oven too soon. Perform test in center to be sure it's done, otherwise it will fall!!!
