The air is crisper, mornings before school hold an awakening chill. Once vibrantly green, leaves magically turn orange and brown, drifting to the ground.
Winds change. Here in Kansas winds violently pelted my porch with acorns. Walking across my yard is a hazard with tiny balls of seeds beneath your feet. Tell the squirrels to clean up this mess.
It is time for pumpkin pie and apple cider – chili and cinnamon rolls. Baking hot apple pie and cooking hot dishes. We spend even more time outside, relishing the last few months before the ground freezers and Jack Frost breathes his cruel breath across the land.
We collect treasures – fallen leaves, acorns, feathers – and put them in our field journals and create new crafts.
We prepare for make believe-clad candy begging and overstuffed belly-feasts. All too soon this pretty scenery will glisten stark-white. Enjoy the warmth now, revel in the sun and lovely colors.
What are your favorite things about Fall?
Love this! I love apple and pumpin picking in the fall – I do not like thinking about the stark-white landscape that will be here soon though…. can’t we have fall without winter?
Thanks Anna! I have never actually picked apples – isn’t that sad? I really want to take my kids to a farm and pick some fresh apples.
Yes! I agree, winter is totally awful. Sure, it is fun on Christmas to have a white Christmas, but the other 3 months of ice? No thanks.
I love the cooler weather and I love knowing fun family times and holidays are coming up!
I agree – it is this time every year that my husband takes off the most time from work. I love that the most!
Great pics! Couldn’t agree more! Fall is my absolute favorite time of year. Such a beautiful season..
Thank you Andria! It is so beautiful outside. Great time to sport beautiful fall fashion too 🙂
I love fall. The leaves, the coolness in the air… I also love turtle neck sweaters, fuzzy sweatshirts and boots…everything comfy…
I’m not a fan of turtle neck sweaters, but fuzzy sweatshirts and boots? YES!
I do have a pretty long neck ;-D
The colors, the air, the foods…love it!
You make me laugh with your squirrel comment. I adore fall, and I’m pretty jealous of how much of it you have already.
I love the cooler temps and the colors of Fall. 🙂

I can’t wait for the chilli!! My hubby makes the best!
I love the beautiful colors and after a few freezing nights most of the bugs die off but it is still nice enough in the day to be outside! Perfect!
I like breaking out the duvet and snuggling in during these cooler nights. More clothing choices too!
I love the colors, fresh picked apples, pumpkins, the freshness in the air. Making soups, stews, and chili!
Gorgeous! These pictures are wonderful!
I like pumpkin crisp, pumpkin soup, chili {both white and red} and candy corn!!!
