Songbird says, "It's that time of year, at least north of the equator. The windows are still open, but the darned furnace comes on early in the morning. My husband went out for a walk after an early supper and came home in full darkness.And yes, where we live, leaves are beginning to turn.As this vivid season begins, tell us five favorite things about fall."
1) A fragrance
Baked pumpkin & spices. Whether the conduit is coffee, candles, or pies... bring it on.
2) A color
Any and all oranges when combined with reds and purples and evergreens. I'm not a big orange fan at all (too many pumpkin or carrot-top jokes as a kid), but once fall hits, I'm happy to throw it in with the others and make it gorgeous.
3) An item of clothing
Scarves.
4) An activity
Trips to Apple Hill for doughnuts and cider. A new tradition since moving to California, as back home this would be available just down the street.
5) A special day
Searching for a Christmas tree. Yes, this sounds like a winter activity, but in California "winter" doesn't really hit until December, by which time my tree is firmly in place.
