What Is Your Favorite Fall Activity?

[Iam]

Fall is my favorite time of year! Just got done picking blackberries, baking pies and eating a warm slice with homemade vanilla ice cream! Ahhhhh!

Iam what a great idea for a thread : ) I love everything about fall, the beautiful colors of leaves, walks in the park, the smell in the morning of wet soil, the misty rain and apples straight off a tree, all crisp and cold. And pumpkin patches and carving pumpkins and halloween! You just made me think about the beauty of fall, all of a sudden feel so much happier : )

I love the acorns falling off the oak trees. I especially like hearing them fall here and there on the chicken coop roofs when the wind blows them down.
Activity - digging the potatoes.

Going for a drive to see and take pictures of the fall colors in Vermont.

And watching the squirrels dig for the acorns! I dug so many potatoes this year ;o) Need to get them into the sawdust for the winter! Sounds like you live in the country too Seedling!

Ahhh Bluecat....it is almost Fall. The crisp smell of the air, the fall colors (my favorite, even my house is in those colors), apples YES!!!!!

Someday I want to go to the east coast for the Fall drive in New England! The colors here are good but oh man....do you have maple trees in Vermont?

Sounds daft I know, but I love the way everywhere is covered in millions of fallen leaves. All the different colours you can think of, all blowing about in the wind, collecting in pockets and corners.

Then suddenly nothing, all gone and vanished back into the earth where they came from.

I love hay rides, corn field mazes and the look on kids faces (first my kids, now my grand kids) as they try to find the perfect pumpkin in the pumpkin patch. I always want to be the one at our house handing out the candy on trick or treat night so I can see all the kids and the costumes.

Thanks for recovering good memories. My favorite fall activity is decorating the outside of the house for halloween. Today, I will think of what I can do this year.

Wish I could insert a photo of some past halloween displays but it may as well be rocket science.

You costume on halloween will be ? ISH, or is that a state secret. :rofl:

When I read this title in the 'new posts', I was confused and intrigued.

What Is Your Favorite Fall Activity?

My first thought was "I don't like falling, what can possibly be good about that?" I was also imagining free falling/parachuting from a plane. Then I realised I was being a dumb Brit and you were talking about autumn. :doh:

Personally, I don't like it. Dark, wet days, with the thoughts of a long winter ahead. And shops already getting ready for Christmas! (Hello, it's only September!). Down right depressing. I suppose the colours as the leaves fall from the trees are pretty.... is it nearly spring yet? (perhaps I should move in with Anthony and Nicolette - it's spring down-under. I'm sure they wouldn't mind. lol!)

Ok - I suppose dressing up for halloween can be fun too....
