20 things I love about fall

20 things I love about fall

Woke up this morning and it was 60 degrees… then the morning got even better as I enjoyed two leftover pumpkin muffins and a cup of Hazelnut coffee.  Fall is definitely in the air and I am. in. LOVE. once again.

So I thought I might kick off this week by sharing with you 20 things I love about fall.  Melissa at The Inspired Room is going to have a linky party just for this topic next month, so I will be all ready to link up.

So here are 20 things that I love about fall:

1. Apples

I got a bushel of apples last year and so enjoyed all the baking and just eating that I got to do with them.  I love just enjoying cut apples with carmel dip or just plain.    I love baking and making things them too.  Like…

2. Apple butter

I made and canned apple butter for the first time last year!  It was so easy and we enjoyed it!  I even made extra and gave them as gifts for Christmas.

3. My newest fall wreath made with dried hydrangeas

LOVING this wreath and getting to see it on the inside of my front door multiple times throughout the day.

4. This DIY fall sign and the events printed on it.

Loving this sign that Ella Claire made!  But not only the sign but the words printed on it.  Pumpkins, apples, hayrides – love those things about fall.

5. Fall leaves and displays

My husband and I took a hike to a waterfall last November.  The leaves and scenery were gorgeous!  That date will always be a day to be remembered.

    You actually make it appear so easy with your presentation however I
    to find this matter to be really something which I think I’d by no means understand.

    It sort of feels too complex and extremely wide for me.
    I’m having a look ahead for your subsequent submit, I will attempt to
    get the dangle of it!

    You pretty much nailed it for me! I do love the smell of fireplaces and the smell of burning leaves outdoors, too. And the cider mill! (I’ve been checking Walmart lately to see if they’ll have those plates again this year–bought some last year, but would love a few more. Let us know if you see them again!)
