Technically, Autumn isn't over until the end of next week. But with the first snowfall this past weekend and Christmas quickly approaching - I am in full Winter mode already. Which makes this seem like the perfect time to recap my list of fall activities! I've highlighted all the ones I completed in red, and in most cases added a little commentary...
- Make pumpkin muffins
- Read outside
- Go for a hike - I certainly did! More than one! And you can read all about it HERE and HERE and HERE
- Enjoy a pumpkin spice latte - or two... or three... or...
- Make a big pot of chili
- Watch a football game - only pretty much every Sunday! And a few Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays also. We're a football loving family.
- Paint your nails a fall color
- Decorate the front door for fall
- Eat candy corn - much more than I should have. 🙄
- Burn cinnamon apple and/or pumpkin spice candles and/or wax melts
- Go for a scenic drive to enjoy the beautiful fall foliage
- Take pictures of the fall colors - In all honesty, the fall color was a little below average this year. I think the warm weather affected the trees and then every time leaves would start to change we would have a windy storm system come through and blow them all off the trees. I did manage to sneak in a few colorful shots.
- Watch a scary movie - The Man of the House took me to see "It". Talk about one creepy clown! Yikes!
- Wear a comfy sweater and the perfect pair of boots - It was so WARM this fall, I was wearing summer and transition outfits until December.
- Decorate the mantle with autumn touches -
- Drink warm spiced apple cider
- Walk through crunchy fallen leaves - Took care of this one during one of my many hikes! 😁
- Made a delicious soup in the crockpot
- Snuggle under a blanket with a cup of tea and read a book on a chilly afternoon
- Celebrate my birthday in style
