It’s time for Autumn’s harvest. Here are 13 things that I love about the Autumn months.
- The changing colors of the leaves from green and soft, to red, yellow, orange, brown and crisp beneath your feet.
- The shortened days, which spell hibernation for the squirrels, chipmunks and bears.
- I also like the shortened days because I also like to hibernate in the winter, with warms mugs of tea, and my soft squishy bathrobe.
- The first crisp, dry days of fall, when the air just smells so fresh.
- Sweaters. Oh I love sweaters. They are absolutely like being cuddled!
- Soups and stews! I love to cook them in either my crock pot or Dutch oven. Then you can smell them through the entire house!
- Having a fire in my own hearth. Sitting here in my family room, watching the flames lap the logs.
- Hot chocolate! Need I say more?
- A fresh, crisp, Macintosh apple! Yum!
- Making applesauce. I always make my own and then freeze at least two big batches to have all through the winter.
- Pumpkin pie! I know that everyone loves apple pies at Thanksgiving, but my favorite has always been pumpkin!
- Jackets. I love a mid-weight jacket. A lot of places keep their buildings cold and I Iove to have a jacket to wear.
- Seeing my breath for the first time, when I go out with the dogs in the morning. That could be on Friday!
Congratulations on Mandy and Matt’s engagement!
Mmmm… pumpkin pie. Still too hot to think about it here but it’s 8:30am right now and the a/c isn’t on yet so I know fall is out there somewhere.

I love fall! I really love Apples! I am not a big pie fan, but I love apple crisp and apple cake. I have a recipe for a fall apple and pear thing that you make in the crock pot, it is so good!!!! Love YOU, Mel
Those apples look so good! I´m glad you are looking forward to cooler weather. Sounds like you are making it warm inside.
I love this list! Many of these things would be on my list too…fall is the best!
Care to share a stew recipe?
You are lucky that you love autumn ! I hate it it’s the start into the cold dark season ! No pumpkin or apple or colored leaves can cheer me up. I wished I was a bear and sleep the whole autumn and winter and wake up only in spring.
I love pretty much everything about Fall… except raking leaves!
Great list, I keep meaning to do a list of fall enjoyments as well, as it’s my favorite season! So much to love about the renewed energy of fall and all the lead-up to the holidays… oh and birthdays! Both my son and I have October birthdays, so there’s that too.
Happy TT!
I was just noticing color changes on my leaves yesterday.
Have a great rest of your Thursday!

Maribeth I’m with you on the pumpkin pie. I’m the only one that really likes it so I don’t get it very often. Love the puppies, we had one years ago.
