I love the way the trees change..the colors take my breath away...
I love the bite in the air that makes you feel alive
I love to cuddle up in front of the fire
I love the holidays that come with fall..the smells of the pies and turkey and the spices and wood burning in the air.
Fall is the best time of the year

Childhood memories of Mom bundling us up for school on a chilly October morning.Drinking hot chocolate before the bus arrives.

the leaves changing all those beautiful colors
the smell of the air
carving pumpkins with my daughter
watching the leaves fall...raking them up and then having a huge leaf fight

The leaves are so beautiful when they change color
Thanksgiving
Halloween and carving pumpkins
the air gets crisper but still not really cold yet

I must say Ontario has some beautiful colours durning the autumn. I love the Autumn season....right after the hot summer and the cold upcoming winter, the brisk feeling that only Autumn can bring, it makes me feel alive and full of energy.

I enjoy walking in the woods or going for a long drive in the country and seeing the leaves, their brilliant orange's and reds and yellows really perk you up but also at the same time it reminds about death and nothing can last forever, and that there can be some hint of wonderful in just about everything, no matter how bad things may appear. :crs

...the multicolored leaves that crackle beneath my boots. The chill in the air that makes wrapping my arms around him all the more justified. The aroma of camp fires...tis the last camp outs of the year. The colorful array of football jerseys. My body and mind melting under a steamy shower or my fluffy comforter after coming in from the cold. Scary old movies and Halloween.

The sound of rustling leaves as they fall off the trees.
The smell of autumn, crisp and clean
The lake, hidden behind the summer leaves, appearing with fog simmering on the surface
A big warm sweater
Wearing socks again

I LOVE the fall... its my favorite season! I love the smells, and the weather, and the trees in WV look absolutely GORGEOUS right now.

I can't wait to introduce my kids to the joys of raking up and jumping in giant leaf piles!

The leaves.. oh yes, the leaves... I grew up in MN and I used to love going north to see nothing but fall color...

The crisp air... the hint of winter around the corner...

Hot chocolate and roasting marshmallows over a campfire....

... snuggling under a blanket watching Football...
... sipping hot cider and eating candy corn, with her head on my shoulder...
... walking outside and feeling the crispness of the air, without the humidity...
... hugging her endlessly so keep her warm...

I like setting my clock back an hour. That rocks! Unfortunately, I like it too much, as I tend to do it whenever it pleases me. I've lost a few jobs that way.

Autumn is my favorite time of the year. I was born in October and there is just something about this time of year that feels so fresh. I don't like the cold weather, but it really a fun time and lots of things go on.

Soffie

10-18-2008, 10:02 AM

Duh ... I never answered my own questions ...

High school football games
Hot Chocolate
Smores
Raking leaves and then having the kids jump in the piles ;-)
Camping trips without all the mosquitos
Dew in spider-webs
The crisp air
The feeling of nostalga as I hear the song ... "Try to remember"
Picking grapes
Splitting firewood ... and getting it stacked for the winter
Autumn is WONDERFUL !!!!

There is nothing like autumn in New England! The colors, the pumpkins, the macintosh apples! Don't know if I could live anywhere else!:D (Big O! How could you defect to FL?)

Changing of leaves is nice but i'm a summer person. Don't like cold weather at all. I guess i should have been born in the south.

sassynsweet

10-18-2008, 03:15 PM

all my senses come alive in fall.. the stunning colors against the clear blue sky, the sounds of leaves rustling in the wind or underfoot, the smell of baking apples or a cozy fire, the feel of flannel soft against my skin, the taste of fresh dumpling squash or a steamy apple pie ...

FlirtyGirl1

Pumpkins, pumpkins, pumpkins....I love them...no idea why. It won't get cool here for a while and the leaves sometimes never even fall off the trees so I guess the most fall thing we have are the pumpkins everywhere.

MrHyde

This time of the year always reminds me of football. Nothing like getting all clothed up, seeing your breath in the air, and tossing around the ole pigskin.

The crisp chill in the air, the crunch of the fallen leaves, and the awesome colors. The cool walks the longer darker night, causing more cuddle times!!! Autumn is a wonderful time of year!

1. Raking up the leaves and watching my kids have a ball jumping in them and throwing them all around.
2. Going out to the Pumpkin Patch to pick the perfect pumpkins to carve.
3. The smell of pumpkin pie or pumpkin bread baking in the oven.
4. Dressing the kids up on Halloween to go trick or treating.

Halloween ... the only holiday you get to dress up as something really different and not have people call you a freak ...

Fall is my favorite season. I love decorating the porch with pumpkins and hay bales and corn stalks. I love the crisp air and being able to pull out your favorite sweaters to snuggle into.

Frenchie_lady

10-24-2008, 04:53 PM

The only way i can explain why i love autumn, is saying its "crisp". Its still nice to walk outside and not having to look like a snowman and you don't get all sweaty cause while working you're building up some heat lol

A nice walk with someone you love, hand in hand is just amazing in the fall... wait, that would be amazing all year long lol

Closing the pool and getting the firewood ready. Wood fires, the only way to go.

Wind and rainstorms outside, pj's, snacks, a cosy blanket, and a Halloween favourite, inside. You have a tin roof? Excellent.

Candles 'just because' and, dare I say it, flowers and potpourri. A simple bit of ambiance for the time of year.

Taking photos of the leaves, nature and the changing landscape. Walking, but not too far.

The beach; waves, sunlight, few people. Catching an unseasonably pleasant day. Early morning mist and jogging. At least once.

A favourite wool mix jumper, not too itchy…accidentally laced with her perfume.

Perfect music for the time of the year - before you get too bored of the same tracks.

Picnics, cookies, baking, cinnamon, achieving great coffee in a thermos flask.

Cue the smell of bread
Cue the smell of burnt bread.

New shoes – autumn always means new shoes. Preparing for winter and Christmas. Gardening - as long as you don't have to.

Fireworks – bonfire night for us Brits soon. Hotdogs, burgers, jacket spuds...

Taking extra care because the nights are drawing in. Spooning while sleeping because it got a bit brrrrrrr.
