NTTCR What are your favorite fall things?

CML11

I love the fall decor around the house (mums outside too), the NH foliage and apple picking! There's nothing like the taste of an apple right off the tree!

So what's your favorite fall things? Anything you look forward too?

Falling leaves, cooler temperatures, Bath and Body Works "Leaves" fragrance, and the candy corn pumpkins, and going to the corn maze and pumpkin patch.

@CML11 I am so jealous that you get to see red and orange leave colors.  Our area just has yellow and brown.  I have those fake colorful leaves arranged around the house so I have the illusion of those fall colors.

I absolutely love the fall weather! And fall clothes, the sweaters and hats and boots...

Pumpkin everything!  (I know, so very not original, but it's the truth)

I'm with @ewenner‌: pumpkin everything! Except pumpkin pie, not so into that.

I love fall! The colors, the cool air, apple picking, Halloween, pumpkin everything (but I'm with you @meredithcarole‌ not pumpkin pie).

emsmama15

I love fall!! Cooler temps and for sure pumpkin everything... Including pumpkin pie here!!

stemi

I love the cool, crisp air, wearing sweaters, the changing leaves, and the change in light (though I hate the shorter days)! I also love anything apple or pumpkin!

Spending time outside in the "magic time" when it isn't scorching hot before it starts to get cold.  I was perfect yesterday!

I LOVE THE FALL!!!!!
My 11th anniversary is coming up so that's my favorite part but I also love the smell of fall, the crisp air, the color on the trees, apple and pumpkin picking, thanksgiving, out door craft fairs and pumpkin spice lattes.
We are going camping in October and that is awesome also. It gets so cold at night everyone huddles around the fire and just hangs out.
I love it all!!!!!

@hooligans4‌ oh yes, totally forgot about fires!! Love sitting by our firepit with something warm in my cup on a chilly night.

CML11

@lcwed‌ yeah it's amazing to look around and see the vibrant reds and orange colors. There are "leaf peepers" that come to NE from all over to see the foliage here. Kinda cool

@pinkishrabbit‌ yes! I love getting to wear my tall boots again!

ewenner

meredithcarolewannabmama23 - I do not understand how you can love pumpkin but not pumpkin pie.  Blasphemy!  

wannabmama23

@ewenner‌ I actually hated everything pumpkin until about two years ago...maybe I'll eventually come around with pie too

I am making pumpkin oatmeal in the slow cooker for breakfast tomorrow, I can't wait! Will be a good start to the day where we are going apple picking in the afternoon!

northernkhaleesi

I'm all about the pumpkin and the colours!

I am planning on making a pumpkin pound cake tomorrow, I think. I will also meander around the woods with the dogs and pretend it's exercise, and maybe pick some partridgeberries. They can't be picked until after the first frost, and since we've had that, the berries are good to go!

(Last week I walked to work wearing mittens and a fur hat.)

@wannabmama23‌ Pumpkin oatmeal sounds amazing!

I'm looking forward to tall boots, running on the trails in the falling and fallen leaves, and moose stew!

I love pumpkin pie/spice smelling candles but hate eating or drinking anything pumpkin.  I love the cooler weather, the leaves changing colors and falling, going to the pumpkin patch, getting Halloween costumes with my kids and taking them trick-or-treating, carving pumpkins and just the overall cozy feeling that the fall brings.

I love fall too!! Pumpkin everything, apple everything and all the fall colors. The weather (if it behaves) where it's still mostly warm but you can pull out all the cute jackets and light sweaters outside.

SillySally24

Ditto jimbobcooter, especially the pumpkin part.

I couldn't have said it better @hooligans4, and we are also coming up on our 11th anniversary in October!! Can't believe it.

This is my first year in Florida.  I grew up and lived all my life in Northern Virginia.  I am going to miss the changing of leaves and those bright colors, the crispness of the cool weather movin gin, football games with chili in the crock pot.  I love fall!!! I am going to miss it.

@Ababymaybe4us I am making chili in the crockpot this week!  Love coming home to dinner smelling the house and I don't have to cook it.  

I like the fact the days are still warm but the nights are chilly.  Love to run around without a jacket during the day but also love cool nights for sleeping.  I usually sleep so much better... lately though lots of crazy dreams.  I also like halloween and the colors of fall.  I WAS a big fan of pumpkin spice coffee, candles, etc.  This year though I am feeling oversaturarated with it so cinamonn apple may be my fall preference so I can take a pumpkin break and enjoy it again.

The weather, being able to wear hoodies, scarves, or jeans - and shoes with socks, no worry if my feet aren't perfectly pedicured.

Love the fall decorations and mums - though I haven't bought any yet because I know I'll forget to water them.

Also love the pumpkin, apple or spice scents for the house. 

siennamom

agree with @ewenner and @meredithcarole:  pumpkin everything! and cooler nights...

I found a bunch of great crockpot recipes (chicken, banana bread, Mac and Cheese, as well as the standard soups and stews) on Ziplist.com... there's an app and you can click and it will create shopping lists for you.  I've been using it the last few weeks and it's great to come home to dinner made for me...

Back on the fall topic- it does send you a recipe of the day so I've been baking.  Love that part of fall too... being able to use the oven and be ok with it heating up the house.

I can't stand being cold, so I'm honestly not a fan of fall (my favorite season is spring).  I do like the warm clothes and Halloween.  And I kind of like the first day we turn on the heat.  I find the burning dust smell kind of comforting.  I'm weird like that.

@VH2014 I love crockpot cooking.  Especially working the hours I work, leaving before the sun comes up and coming home when it it down (at least in the winter).  I do love walking into the house at night and the aromas filling the house.  I always found it comforting.
