You were all thinking I was a crazy Christmas lady with that last post. But today is the official first day of fall, and I promise to enjoy every minute of this beautiful season and share in that enjoyment with you. When fall hits I say, “this is my favorite season.” At the end of fall, when we are anticipating the holidays I say, “this is my favorite season.” Overtime what I realized is that I just love the change. Opportunites to celebrate, the reason to be festive, a chance to reevaluate, and to plan… So here is a fall bucket list that I plan to explore with my family this season. I’ll let you know how it goes! What are your favorite fall activities? What did I miss? I didn’t include decorating for fall as I’ve already pretty much completed that.
- Visit Scandia Patch to see the pigs and shop their gorgeous produce.
- Make pumpkin bread!
- Jump in puddles.
- Cut dahlias from our neighbors farm.
- Drink mulled wine.
