Zucchini Blueberry Coffee Cake #SundaySupper

I can feel the change coming.  I can feel it in my body, my mind, my spirit, my soul.  Summer is waning and fall and winter are rapidly approaching.

It was a delightful summer, which makes it all the worse to say goodbye.  I don’t want to give up the long days, the sunshine, the warmth, the sandals, the sundresses, the feeling of freedom that I’ve had for the past few months.

My body is starting to ache, to feel that chill, to grow tired as the sun sets earlier and earlier each day.  The little differences aren’t noticed by most but to me they are a warning that the time is growing precious and I must enjoy it.

My mind is leaning toward sadness.  Sadness that I am losing that feeling of freedom and happiness that does not come nearly as easily when the weather is crappy, the days are short, and home is where I spend most of my time.  The cold months drag and trick my mind into being sad, as the sun is rarely seen and when it is it is only a trick, not matching the warmth it brings to mind.

My spirit is being corralled.  Forced to rein in concerts and dinners out and walks around the neighborhood or town.  It is time to focus mostly on work, on a better future, which is good, but as my soul is showing it, not an easy task to accomplish.

This time of year is my reminder that another year has passed without accomplishing my goals.  It is another year I am stuck in Michigan and as just an aspiring writer, but at the same time, I feel I have inched closer to my goals and hope that very soon, I will take a giant leap forward.

Because I am grasping onto any remnants of summer, I have a summery Zucchini Blueberry Coffee Cake for you today.  It is incredibly moist from the zucchini and blueberries with a soft crumb.  The topping totally takes it over the top and makes it worthy for breakfast with a cup of coffee or tea or for dessert with a scoop of ice cream.

Plus, cakes like this freeze incredibly well.  So when winter has me down, I will definitely be reaching for a slice in the deep freeze.
