My Favorite things about fall!
- Making apple cider with mulling spice and letting it simmer on the stove all day. It fills the house with the scent of fall
- As a New Englander, we wait for peak foliage and drive to take in the views of the vibrant colors.
- Speaking of leaves, it’s always exciting to find the first colored leaf of the season. I’m like a kid, I bring it in the house to show it my husband.
- I hate yard work but love raking leaves into a pile. I can’t jump in them anymore but I do get down in them with the grandkids and get buried. Then it’s fun to throw them in the air as high as you can.
- Wrapping up in a soft comfy blanket with a cup of tea on the couch is so relaxing.
- Putting on my favorite fleece sweats and old worn warm sweatshirt to sit by the fire on a brisk night warms my heart.
- Finding the perfect pumpkins at the pumpkin patch is a tradition. I then carve one to make pumpkin seeds. I also grab hay, gourds, corn stalks, and mums for decorations.
- Homemade soup is a must in the fall! Pumpkin, squash, and vegetable are my favorites.
- Apple picking for homemade apple crisp is my absolute favorite treat- with vanilla ice cream on top!
- Fall festivals and fairs! Eating fair food, seeing animals, and shopping! Doesn’t get better than that! Although they’re all cancelled this year
My fall tip:
Gather all your colored leaves with the kids or grandkids. Cut 8 pieces wax paper 18 inches long. Place some leaves on the wax paper, lay another piece over the top of the leaves and iron on low. Use these for your fall placemats. You can also have the kids shave crayons and add to the leaves for more colors.
