I'm sitting at my home desk working and peaing, and this is the first overcast day with a bit of rain on the windows every now and then. I am soooooo loving it. I have the radio on, made some tea, the cat is here... I so love this time of year. I can't wait for that first long sleeved run where you step out the door and the air feels cool in your lungs.
What are you looking forward to this autumn?

We actually don't have much planned other than one trip to see DS2 in college. I am actually looking forward to being home.

We don't get that kind of weather until around November/December. It's still in the upper 90s. I am looking forward to decorating for fall and my favorite holiday, Halloween! We are going, along with another couple, as KISS.

Cooler temperatures. Less pressure to go out and do stuff on the weekend...I just want to curl up with a book in front of the fireplace.

Cooler temps, chillier evenings, morning coffee on the patio. It's still 100 degrees daily here in Central TX. Any a trip later this month to Indiana to visit family and friends.

Early morning and evening walks. That’s about the only time of day you feel that cooler, crisp fall air around here, and there’s usually the smell of wood smoke in the air as well because these Southerners light a fire when the temp dips below 70. 😁

It was cooler yesterday and when I went grocery shopping I actually got ingredients to make soup, meatballs and other cosy food.
A number of crochet projects to complete, it was too hot during the summer and a ton of books to be read.

Moving next week! Can’t wait! Where to? Anywhere north? Naah, just to the center of our village. We’ve aquired my late grandmothers house and plot. It’s awesome and large enough to build us a house for us AND my parents when they are old and in need of assisted living. <3

Crunchy leaves under my feet.

It’s my favorite season! I’ve been looking forward to it all Summer. I’m looking forward to when the energy starts slowing down externally. I associate Fall with the element of Water because it’s more of an introverted energy than the extremely extroverted energy of Summer.
When Fall comes, the external energy starts to cool down and crisp up. It’s a time of creativity planning for the holidays. Nature starts to prepare for hibernation. It gets quieter. There’s just more of a togetherness. There’s more feeling than thinking. The weather becomes more creative too while the color of the sky gets calmer.
Fall to me is the season of excitement and exploration. That’s why I love Fall ☺️🌻⛈🥮🔮

cooler weather. The ol' change has hit me hard this summer and I'm sick of high 90's temperatures. I'm tired of sweating...

I'm looking forward to cooler temps and college football!
I'm looking forward to the return of eagles at the lake we visit.
I'm looking forward to threads about Texas homecoming mums!

I can’t wait to enjoy our new outdoor fireplace with a book, a hot drink, a blanket in my lap and some falling leaves! Nothing better than the smell of woodsmoke on a crisp afternoon.

I'm trying to get into the fall season but having a hard time. I feel like I had no summer. Other than a week in Mexico, I spent it getting up early and getting kids to sports trainings. I didn't make it to my favorite beach at all.
That said, I'm really looking forward to soups and stews. And going apple picking with dh & the kids. And my girls play futsal starting in October so I'm looking forward to watching that.

Cooler weather, scary movies on tv, pumpkin patches, many salted caramel mochas, fun Halloween themed food, cooking soups, Mac and cheese, roast chickens, squash for 29 cents a pound, and shoes and boots- I hate summer shoes.

FOOTBALL!!! That's all I got. I despise Fall. I'm a hot, humid, sunny Southern girl and I love it. It's still hot here and will be until November or so. No pumpkin spice, no cool air, no sweaters, no shoes, no getting dark early, no heavy foods, no falling leaves- just not my thing at all! I'll drink my coffee while the air conditioning runs. Sorry to interrupt this thread...

It's been the second hottest summer here on record and our usual monsoon season that at least gives us something to look forward to has been a bust. I swear I have never seen so many 100+ days ever and I have lived here in southern Arizona my entire life! So I am so looking forward to cooler weather. But unfortunately we don't get that till about November. 😭 I am looking forward to just being able to do stuff outside again!

I'm mostly looking forward to Halloween and hockey season starting up again. Fall isn't my favorite because it means winter is close, and I hate winter. I suppose I'm looking forward to my birthday too because my cousin and I have a fun evening planned, but it's technically still part of summer!
