There is something about fall that I just love. Maybe it’s because I live in the beautiful state of Michigan and this may be the most gorgeous season in this state. I’m in the minority most of the time with this feeling, but I feel as though fall is a time to start anew. Maybe it’s because I’ve always associated it with a new semester after a long, hot summer and a time to get back on track.
Here are a few of my favorite fall things:
- Colorful, vibrant leaves (the warm hues are so beautiful)
- Apple cider (with or without rum 😉 and definitely with cinnamon added in )
- Hay rides
- Haunted houses
- Spices (ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, clove)
- Halloween!
- Pumpkin bread
- Spiced lattes
- Fall fashion (cozy sweaters, boots, scarves & hats)
- The smell of fall (earthy smell)
- Huge pumpkins
- Fireplaces
- Crunchy leaves
- Fresh apples
- Harvest time
- Candles (especially ginger & sugar cookie ones)
- Season of transition (fresh start)
- Orchards
- Warm, feel good meals
- Hot tea (chai and milk is a favorite)
- Less sweat (cooler weather is so much more better to run in)
- Football (I love a good game)
- Roasted pumpkin seeds
- Costumes
- Changing hairstyles
- Fall inspired decorations
- Hot chocolate
- Less skin
- Extra blankets
- Open windows in the house
- Soups & Stew
- Wine tasting & hard cider
What’s your favorite fall thing? Any activities or traditions?
I like pretty much all of those too! I think Fall is my favorite time of year, actually.
