Autumn Equinox Contest!
I love how it cools off from summer heat and all the pretty colors on the leaves!!
I’m over 18 and US resident also
My favorite parts about fall are the autumn leaves, which change with the cooler air; the taste of spiced hot apple cider and pumpkin bread; the feel of the cool air on my skin; and the soft sounds of the cool wind blowing the leaves in the trees.
i am over 18 years old and a us citizen
I live in the US and am over 18. My favorite part about autumn are all the small changes. The smell in the air, the leaves changing color, etc. I also love Halloween.
I like so many things about Autumn, the cooler temps, the sights, the smells, but my favorite thing is my favorite Sabbat, Samhain. My little Witchlet, aka my granddaughter Myranda, is really hoping that I win, because she wants the black cat! I told her that I’d think about it, but we both know she will, hee hee.
I am a resident of the United States and well over 18.
I love the swoosh in of leaves when you walk through them.
Being that I live in the desert. The thing I like the most is the cooler weather. I don’t have to wait until 11 pm to take a walk. Our leave don’t really change colors, they’re on the trees one day and the next day they are on the ground. Lol.
Autumn is a time for renew. I love how the nature sheds the old to prepare for the new. I was born September 23 and have also felt comfortable and drawing to autumn. Walking into the wood on a beautiful autumn midday and sitting quietly as rabbits gather food, watching birds play as the cool breeze blows, etc…. That is what autumn is like for me, yeah the bonfires and spending time with loved ones is always great but being by myself with mother earth in her prime is my absolute favorite.
I love the cooler temps at this time of year. I also love the changing of the leaves and Halloween. I enjoy taking my kids trick or treating and dressing up I costumes myself. I am over 18 and a US resident.
I love Autumn because I know my favorite time of the year is nearing. HALLOWEEN!! My normal house decorations are already in place and the stores are full of wicked new items to decorate my home with. (My decorations never come down 🙂 )
I live where it is hot during the summer so I love the cooler weather, the leaves change, enjoying coffee on the patio, snuggling with my honey under a blanket. I enjoy seeing my grandkids enjoy Halloween and dress up
Crisp cool morning, fall colors and pumpkins. I have this love affair with pumpkins that goes back to when I was 11 years old. I had been injured and had spent a good deal of time both recovering and learning to walk again. The next year my parents moved us out to the country. Dad had me out helping in a garden while I was still using a cane to walk. He had rigged up a PVC pipe with funnel attached so I could drop seeds into the rows. He let me plant a row of pumpkins, I was to water and tend to that row until harvest. Dad placed a marker at the end of the row with my name on it. I went out everyday to tend to my row doing the weeding and watering. Dad was not well educated as he only had a third grade education, but he was a very smart man and he gave me a project, my row of pumpkins. Through out the growing season I learned to work around my limitation and learned to move without the aide of the cane or braces. Harvest came and I had beautiful pumpkins some of which I gave away and I put the cane away not needing it anymore.
Autumn, is a great because of the changing leaves, that crisp feel in the morning….not hot and not cold. Halloween!!! Being able to snuggle with your loved one. Getting closer to fireplace time! There really isn’t any bad part to Autumn..
It’s really difficult to say what it is about Autumn that I like best, given that I’m a tropical Florida girl. Autumn doesn’t properly exist here in the Sunshine State. I suppose my favourite thing about Autumn here is that we eventually get a cool-down from our Summer heat & I can finally turn off the aircon & allow in fresh air. Then, of course, comes all the cute Halloween merch in the shops. It’ll be fun to celebrate my 10-month old tortie kitten’s first Halloween! 🙂
I’m well over 18 (35 in December) & a legal U.S. resident.
The crispness of the evenings and mornings! The change in the temperature and the brilliant colors of the leaves are things that bring a bit of joy into my step and my overall sense of self. My favorite time of year.
My favorite part about fall is the changing colors of autumn. It’s my favorite time of year due to this and the cooler, yet still comfy temps.
My favorite part about fall is the changing of the leaves. If we get the time, we like to take a drive through some of the mountains and see all the beautiful colors. I also like the crisp weather and the chance to sit out on our deck and have a fire in our chimea with the dogs laying around us. It’s a nice family time to relax. I also enjoy cuddling up in a hoodie and taking walks with the dogs. Fall is definitely my favorite season of them all.
My favorite part about autumn is that it’s harvest time, the leaves are changing to golds and reds, pumpkin spice scents, the kids getting excited about Halloween and the weather getting cooler.
The crisp air at twilight as I walk my neighborhood, leaves crunching underfoot.
The thing I love most about Autumn is all the new colors and the temperatures. I do love the flavors that are ripe and in season during this time of the year but I love the cooler temps the most because then I can wear my fuzzy pajama pants and socks and sit out on the front porch admiring nature and all of her beauties while enjoying a cup of warm cider. I’m 36 and live in Charleston, SC. Blessed Be!
I love everything about autumn. When I lived in Michigan I got to take rides on the color tour train to see the leaves changing into the beautiful colors of autumn. I love the smells, especially hay, and the decorations. I love being able to go out on a crisp day and choose a pumpkin for carving and go to a cider mill for some hot apple cider. I can’t wait until I can go back during autumn to experience it all again.
I’m 30 and live in Arizona.
My favorite part about Autumn isn’t the changing of the leaves, though that is nice, because not every area has that change or gets to see it other than in photos or on tv. My favorite part of Autumn is the coming together of family, as the holidays get closer. It’s a time of deep thought and preparation for the ‘death’ of winter. And the colors, I absolutely love the earthy colors of autumn!
I am well over 18 and a US resident living in the US.
I love the changing of the leaves. Its a signal to me that my favorite time of year is coming.
Yes I’m over 18 and I live in the U.S.
I am 43 (born in US thank Goddess : ) and live in a place I call Rivendale in Colorado, high upon the Mountains. I have two favorite parts of Autumn, rituals I do with great joy each year. Part One: One of My Favorite parts of Autumn is what I consider a New year with New Beginnings. As the weather changes, this is a wonderful way to observe many of the rites of Mabon and getting ready for Winter’s return. For me, as My Birthday is in September and I always look at it as a time to begin anew. The upcoming festivities of the Autumn Equinox and All Hallows Eve is the most Magickal and Witchy time of year. The Aspens turn gold and shimmer in the crisp Autumn air, singing the Song of the Goddess as the winds grow stronger, making the leaves dance to a Faerie’s softly whispered tune. I take long walks under canopies arching high of Golden glittering Aspens. (Aspen trees, when together in same area, all share the same root system, sometimes for miles). So walking with their Grounding energy beneath me and Golden Boughs shimmering above, lets my imagination take me away while helping my Magick ground. I feel so very blessed to live here, my Irish Wolfhound out on a walk to our Faerie Circle where we do rituals and hang healing bundles, and bundles for Manifesting,etc in the Grove nestled across the street. Part Two (My Favorite Rituals of Fall): Then coming home to a hot cup of tea, and a great book! This year I’m anxiously awaiting your book, “Shadow Silence” on the 27th as my Autumn Equinox treat. I always do “Fall Cleaning” rather than Spring, so I’m ready to hunker down in the sweet Bliss of My Goddess room and sanctuary, with my Hound at my feet, sitting at my Great Great Grandmere’s antique desk, looking out into the riot of colors outside my window, with a view of the Aspen’s glittering gold. And Most importantly, and what brings me more delight than anything in the world is sitting down with my Fall Book, which I read every year, escaping this daily mortal coil, where I can journey to Magickal places, learn how to be a stronger woman through the adventures of the heroines in your books! The greatest magic in the world is entering another world through the beauty of the written word, you can feel it, deep in the earth, “The Goddess is Alive, and Magick is Afoot!” And as we begin the time of year where we go inwards, stay in our cozy homes more & have time for Magick and Rituals, I begin my Favorite ritual of this season (and I suggest to your other readers to do the same, as its the perfect book to come back to every year during this season and if you have another favorite that inspires you to begin the beauty of Fall, that works too!! I place this book on my Altar and return to ‘Night Myst” like an old friend, “O wild West Wind, though breath of Autumn’s being, Thou, from whose unseen presence the leaves dead Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing…Percy Bysshe Shelley (From Yasmine Galenorn’s, “Night Myst”). The characters and story of this enchanting tale are the biggest and brightest part of my Fall rituals…they make the season come alive for me! With much love and thanks for the gift of entering the realm of magic, via the portal of your stories. Shine Brightly and May you and all your beautiful readers have an Enchanting Autumn, Mabon and All Hallow’s Eve. C-Faerie
My favorite part of fall is definitely the cooler weather. I love the colors of the leaves on the trees and late night bonfires.
My favorite part of fall is the beauty in the change of color, the weather, the smell. I love going to pumpkin patches and on hayrides. I really just love it all. <3
The colors of the leaves, bonfires at my daughters, and cozy nights outside curled up in a blanket with that favorite someone watching the stars.
Autumn has always been my favorite season. I love the cool, crisp air. The changing colors of the leaves. The smell of wood smoke in the air from everyone starting up their cozy fires at home. And of course, Samhain… I was born on October 31, so that’s a special time for me. Thanks for all your hard work and for the contest. Blessings.
It’s when I was born. The crisp brisk breeze that carries the savory and sweet. Pumpkins and spice, apples and dry vibrant leaves and the anticipation of halloween all linger wherever you go. Walks in the woods or jumping in leaves signify that Autumn is here. Growing up we had local copper vats of apple butter cooking mixed with hayrides and giggles. It seems to all build up to that one magical night…Halloween. Thanks for the contest!
My favorite part of autumn is watching the leaves turn and the cool breeze. I love all the golden and orange shades of fall and pumpkins everywhere! It’s my favorite season and best of all is Halloween!
My favorite part of autumn is the sound of the fallen leaves crunching beneath my feet, the smell of my neighbor’s wood fire on the chill fall mornings, the taste of homemade hot chocolate fresh from the stove, and the feel of the brisk autumn wind in my hair. Their is nothing quite like autumn.
My very favorite thing about Autumn is taking my kids to the pumpkin patch. I love the colors of the fall leaves. I also love anything pumpkin flavored.
I love it when the trees start changing colors
Wow, this is really hard. I don’t have just one favorite.
The weather, the leaves changing, the Halloween decorations, pumpkin flavored everything….
What I love about the fall is the cooler weather. All the colors of leaves turning all colors of the rainbow. Drinking hot chocolate by a fire, if you have one. Don’t like cold weather, but snow is pretty when the moon is shining off the glistening surface. But fall and spring are tied
for favorite time of year.
When the leaves begin to change colors, and there’s the faintest scent of decay, coupled with the bright scent of fresh apples, baking pies, and just a feeling of getting ready for the winter.
Both Autumn and Spring are my favorite times of the year, Just right with the weather, so you can do more outside like hike, “play in the dirt”,ride around in the mountains, do picnics, and etc. It’s also when all of the children are in school, so you can enjoy a vacation somewhere i.e. the beach, mountains, historic sites, National Parks, and etc.
I live in Gainesville, Georgia
I just turned 50 in August.
My favorite part of autumn is the colors. The beautiful fall leaves, the gorgeous pumpkins everywhere and purples and blacks thrown in for Halloween.
I love the fall. I have been living in the south for the past 13 years so I do miss a traditional fall but we still get one.
It was my favorite time of the year when I lived up north. Football games, the smell of fire from the fireplaces, the colors, wearing sweaters, apple picking, and of course snuggling under blankets on the porch. There was also that crisp smell on the air that let you just know it was fall.
One of the best times of the year
I love the crisp autumn days and nights. It makes me happy to be able to put on cozy sweaters and boots to bundle up! Also, warm cider, hot chocolate and tea. 🙂
I’m over 18 and live in the US.
I live in New England, so the leaves changing colors are my #1 favorite thing, quickly followed by cool weather, hoodies, baking, and hot chocolate 🙂
I am well over 18 years of age and am now, and have always been, a USA resident.
My favorite thing about autumn is Halloween. My other favorite things about autumn are the crispness of the air and the beautiful colors.
All things pumpkin and new witch hats being out.
The cooler temperatures, hot chocolate, kids trick or treating are a few things that come to mind.
The colors of the leaves on the trees. Of course then I start thinking oh lord winter is coming.
So it’s kind of a double edge sword to me.
My favorite part of Autumn is watching the world slowing down, curling up, ready for the long sleep ahead. The colors change and leaves fall and the air has this certain smell. Like crisp apples, dry leaves, bon fires, holding hands and sweaters with jeans.
What’s your favorite part of autumn? My favorite part of autumn is the colors and Halloween. Also, all my favorite scent in my home.
My favorite part of autumn is the smell of bonfires in the air and the changing of the leaves. I love hiking and enjoying the reds and oranges of fall.
The smell of apple cider and pumpkin spice wafting through the house. The feel of the crisp cool air brushing against my cheeks. The look on my children’s faces when they go to the pumpkin patch to find the perfect pumpkin.
This year especially I am looking forward to the drop in temperatures and being able to function better.
The days starting to get cooler and the changing of colors, it is a time of change, a changing of the guard!
Over 18 living in Kirksville Missouri
Favorite thing(s) about autumn is celebrating mabon and the same day as my daughters birthday, the crisp air and Samhain. All of this spending time with my little pagan in training is such s joy for me. That’s why Autumn is my favorite time of the yeAr
Oh beautiful, blessed Autumn…what is not to love about this time of year? Warm summer like days that melt into cool frosty nights, the smell of wood smoke in the air, a small bit of heaven on earth. I am so lucky to live in an area that on those dark, frosty night I can look up into the night sky and view a brilliant display of the Milky Way and thousands of stars. Tracking the great hunter, Orion, across the dark sky as he does eternal battle with Taurus the Bull makes my mind wander. I think of the Gods and Goddesses looking down on us, watching us, enjoying the show that we put on. Warm, spicy apple cider, a piece of pumpkin bread is a pleasant way to end the day. As the nights grow longer into the winter season, I feel the pause that is coming. Time to “hibernate” and sit and knit while waiting for the sun to return to light and warm up the ground for the growing season to begin again. I love Autumn. It is a small gift to us, to help us remember that after the cold dark winter the sun will return in a blaze of glory, yellow, orange and red just like the beautiful leaves of Autumn.
I love autumn. The changing colors of the leaves, the cooler days, the energy of the changing seasons always makes for good magic, the flavors of the season are a nice change, and the chance to sit outside in front of a roaring fire or fire up the fire place and not have people complain it is to warm. The walks in the woods to reconnect with the energies of nature is one of the best things I experience at this time of year. I am well over 18 and live in the US of A. thank you for the give away and writing the best books to sit by a fire with a warm cup of cider to read.
I live in the US and am over 18. I also subscribe to your blog. Thanks for the chance to enter the contest.
For me, I love the crisp cool nights of autumn, the leaves changing, going apple picking and pumpkin spice everything. 🙂 As an autumn child (birthday is this Sunday) I feel at home w hen the days get cooler and the summer hjeat melts away or it’s supposed to anyways-this week we are still in the 80’s here in NY). lol
I LOVE autumn, the cooler nights, the colors of the leaves, and of course the pumpkin spice creamer for my coffee. Thanks for the chance!
In the U.S. & over 18. I love cooler weather, the leaves changing colors, & all the pumpkin spiced flavored items in stores. Thanks for the chance.
I LOVE Halloween/Samhain, the changing of colours in nature, and the smell of fresh cool winds. I also love pulling out my sweaters.
I live in WA-state and am in my mid-50’s. I love how autumn makes me feel. One of my favorite things is the crisp, cool air – the smell, the feel of it. I also love the rain, it’s so calming and cleansing. And when that first dusting of snow hits Baldy Ridge in the Olympics, it’s simply magical!
Well over 18 years, live in Kansas, USA
My favorite thing about fall is the smells. Damp ground, fires, leaves rotting, the warm foods, pies, crisp air. There are no smells that compare to autumn, everything takes on a different scent.
I love the smells of Autumn-the burning of the leaves, the baking of pumpkin pies, the smell of burning candles and the smell of crispness in the air. My special plants that grow this time of year add to there wonderful smells of this tine of the year.
The cooling temperatures, the colors, and the start of the holiday seasons.
My favorite parts of autumn is the cooler weather, the smell in the air, burning leaves at my mom’s and the October full moon. I love to get dressed for Halloween and attend my grandaughter’s parade at school. She goes to the same grade school as my children did, so it is tradition for me. I have only missed 3 Halloween parades in the last 21 years (our grade school is Pre-K thru 8th grade)! I am a US citizen and well over 18.
I am over 18 and a US resident. My favorite part of autumn is Halloween. I enjoy the spirit, the decorations, the history, the folklore, and I just feel more alive during this time of year.
My favorite part of Autumn is Halloween, of course! I love the preparations and the parties and the good feelings everyone has when it comes. Fantasy is such an important part in the season and I love it!
My favorite part of autumn are the colors of all the trees changing and that little bit of crispness in the air at night. There is a feeling of anticipation that goes along with all this as well.
Autumn is absolutely gorgeous in many more ways than one! Not only do you have the sensory aspects – changing colors, changing textures and sounds, new plants or animals hanging around – you also have things happening all around you that you might not think about. As the weather gets cooler, more and more bacteria are dying and thus lessening the chances of getting sick. Autumn is beautiful, calms the mind, and helps keep you healthier! 🙂
My favorite part of autumn is the colors and Halloween. Halloween is my life.
Autumn my favorite season, Spring has past and brought fourth the crops of summer, Summer has moved on to welcome the harvest of the crops. The trees prepare for a long sleep by changing colors, bold reds yellows and orange single the coming of winter. Autumn a time to reflect, refuel , rest and clear out old bad thoughts and habits.
Because I live in Florida Autumn is my favorite part of the year. It means that soon I will be able to open the windows and enjoy the cooler air. It means I can sit on my porch comfortably and read my favorite books without getting heatstroke. It’s the time of year when I put cranberries, oranges and cinnamon sticks in water to simmer on the stove.
I love Autumn! The cooler weather, candy apples, pumpkins, Halloween and Thanksgiving. My favorite part is the changing leaf colors. We always take a day trip to the mountains to see them and we do a little shopping and buy delicious apples. It’s the best!
Everything apple… Hot, Mulled Apple Cider, cold apple cider, apple crisp, baked apples, apples with my chicken/turkey/pork, apples with peanut butter, walking through an apple orchard…………..
Apples and all the good baking that comes from them!
The fall leaves are always my favorite part of this time of year. I just love all the different colors.
Aside from my birthday in November, I love Candy Corn…especially chocolate candy corn. And Fall is the only time you can buy it so it is a special treat. Love the fall colors too.
football U of M in Ann Arbor is my favorite fall thing,also walking my pug in cooler weather.
Well my favorite part of fall has to be, cool crisp air and the COLORS. This is my time of the year with the pumpkins and the best of all…HALLOWEEN. Or Samhain if you please. Thank you for all your writings i have loved your books for a long time.
My favorite part of autumn is the trees changing color. The colors are so gorgeous – yellows, oranges, reds, & purples (my personal favorite!). We live in a rural area & driving the roads with the varied coloring of the season is just amazingly calming & can be a huge stress reliever!
My favorite part of autumn is the cooling weather after a long hot summer.
My favorite part of autumn is Halloween! I love the change of colors and the cooler days/nights.
I am over 18 and while I currently live in Australia I am a US resident and do have a US address. 🙂
Thanks so much for this opportunity.
My favorite part of autumn is the clear crisp days and nights and beautiful fall foliage!
My favorite part of Autumn is both the fact that Halloween is right in the middle of it and that happens to be my favorite holiday. Also, I love the fact that since it gets colder during Autumn, I can wear sweatshirts outside again and I really love my sweatshirts. Thank you for the chance. Good luck everyone!
I don’t have ONE particular favorite aspect of Autumn. I love the crisp morning air, the beautiful gold and red colors of the leaves (except when they fall in my yard and I have to take them up…). It always feels as if the universe is breathing a sigh of relief and is able to let go, and move on. Fall apples and pumpkins always provide luscious cinnamon laden aromatherapy as well
My favorite part of autumn is definitely the cooler weather because I just love that nice crispy air that autumn brings. Not to mention the beautiful color leaves. I also just love to curl up in my cozy bed with a good book in hand and a nice hot tea, especially during the cold rainy days. Autumn is just a breath of fresh air to me, more so with all those high temperatures that I went through in all these months.
I’m 35 years old and I live in New York. Autumn has always been my favorite season.
First of all I was born in November. Every year for my birthday I have a Halloween costume party.
I love the cooling air and wearing my hoodies. Drinking hot chocolate and cuddling with a great book.
Watching the leaves change color.
Blessed Be!
My favorite part of autumn is the change in weather, I am not one for high temperatures. I also love that it gets darker earlier too.
1. Live in Florida
2. Definitely over 18 by quite a few years.
3. Certainly 🙂
4. Favorite part of autumn – aside from changing leaves – are the smells, cooler air, have a tendency to move around more in fall and winter so it’s nice.
My favorite part of autumn is what it signifies to me – death and rebirth. It signifies the death or the end of one season and the rebirth of a new one. It signifies a change, not only in the weather and the colors but internally as well. Most of us transition from the warmth and carefree time of summer to the crispness of fall, the shorter days and longer nights, but we also need to acclimate ourselves and start new.
I grew up in New England and moved to Florida 4 yrs ago. I never realized what Inwas missing or what it meant until it was no longer there. And since moving back last year I have developed a whole new appreciation for the season and what it means. And, of course, my favorite holiday: Halloween!
I enjoy making costumes for myself & my 4 children. Raking leaves & having them jump in them & have leaf fights (just like snowball, but with leaves). Decorating for Halloween. Going trick or treating while we’re all dressed up (many can’t believe a parent is dressed up, but I love doing so!) Celebrating my teen’s birthday on Thanksgiving with family (she was literally born on Thanksgiving 17 yrs ago, so she’s my turkey). Fall Powwows.
Am a U.S. resident & over 18.
What do I like about Fall? The changes in weather, the change in leaves decorating everything.
I love the colors on the tree leaves and the cooler weather, plus knowing that Halloween is almost here is since a bonus. Thank you so much for this chance.
I Love Autumn because it’s cooler weather and the leaves are falling off the trees with all the colors of earth tones. One of my favorite holidays is Halloween it’s when kids and adults can play.
I love the cooler weather and the fall coloring. I love to decorate for Halloween and enjoy the little children dressing up.
Well I live in Louisiana so for me that first brush of cold air is my favorite you can finally sit outside after dark without being eaten alive by our unofficial state bird the mosquito. Building a fire and drinking a hot toddy. Fall is always been my favorite time you can finally breathe without chewing the air or for someone like me with allergies it is the most wonderful time of the year.
I live in Sparks Nevada, US
My youngest child is 31, so I’m pretty sythat I am over 18.
What I love about fall is two things really. I love the change of color in the trees. Growing up in southern Calif I never saw in life the fall colors. At 15 we moved to Reno and I got to witness the change in the trees. It wasn’t until I was 21 as a newlywed that my hubby and I spent a fall and early winter in Newport Rhode Island and I got to see how absolutely gorgeous the fall colors are in the northeast US. Now living back in the Reno area, I love the colors of the different trees around me. As an older person I really love the change of temperature, not too cold and not hot.
My favorite part of Autumn is the changing color or the leafs , the kids playing in the leafs , the crispy cool nights and the harvest moon.
My favorite part of Autumn is Halloween. There is so much magic and potential in the air. Its the one day of the year where everyone who participates, from the littlest baby in a pumpkin costume, to the old man on the corner with vampire fangs as he passes out candy, gets into the mood for a little magic and a little spooky fun.
My favorite part if Autumn is the seasonal colour changes. It gives everything a comfy homey feel, and it seems that everything is so much more photogenic and magical; especially during the golden hours.
I am also over 18, and am a US resident.
I love the crisp smell of the air and the fall colors.
I love the colors of fall. The reds and oranges of the leaves as they fall off the trees. And the smell. Autumn is my favorite time of the year.
I forgot yes over 18,USA live in Oklahoma
I love Halloween and all the horror movies (new ones and very old ones). the cooler weather and the leaves are changing I love this time of year. did anyone see the moon the other night it was so big .
My all time Fave is watching the 1978 Halloween on VHS. Every year I watch it and hand out candy to the kids on Halloween. My husband was born that year and he takes the kids out so I can enjoy the movie. I used to love drinking Pumpkin Spice drinks, but now I can not because of the cloves.
Fall is my favorite season. The changing of the leaves, red, orange, and golden shining in the sunlight. The way the air seems crisper. Getting cozy by the fire at night, sitting on the porch in the morning drinking a warm drink with a throw watching the sun ☀️ rise. Raking leaves and watching the kids jump in them.
The chill in the air that lets you know that something special is coming!
I love the cooler temperatures, the changing of the colors of the leaves, and Halloween! Being on Facebook has allowed friends to send me beautiful (and sometimes creepy) pictures of nature in all her autumn glory! Sometimes they are pictures of wonderful artwork! I love this time of year even though I’m a Summer baby!

I love when the weather turns cool and you can wear sweaters, scarves, fluffy slippers, and get under thick layers of covers.
I am a US citizen and over 18.
There’s a lot I love about autumn! Corn mazes, festivals, halloween, and pumpkin spice scents in the air… Being able to wear hoodies, boots, and jeans again. I love enjoying that last bit of good weather before winter comes. I’ll take this opportunity to say how much I loved your descriptions of what Delilah felt with the Autumn Lord… Reading about bon fires and the scent of decaying leaves this past summer really made me yearn for autumn again!
The thing I love about fall is cooking and baking. Oatmeal cranberry cookies,cranberry crown cheesecake, all kinds of soups which are comfort foods.
My favorite parts of autumn are all sensory. The chill in the air that makes cuddling in the blankets in bed desirable. The buttery yellow sunlight on a clear day that doesn’t happen at any other time of year. The first hints of wood smoke in the air as people start burning fires in the fireplace. And the taste of varieties of apples at our local Apple Festival that are never found in stores.
My favorite part of Autumn is cooking and eating all of my favorite comfort foods ♡ yum! Thank you
Crisp Autumn air
The changing from green to gold is the most wonderful time of autumn. In the chilly nights and cold mornings the moon just seems bigger. I love it.
I love the weather cooling off, I hate hot weather. Fall is the perfect time of year for me, I can go outside and have coffee in the morning, grill steaks ( for the boys) and veggies for the rest of us in the evening. The house can be opened up and aired outhe, no air conditioning needed. Also my roses re-bloom, which is always a gorgeous sight.
I love the smell in the air. It’s crisper and sharper than summer. I live in Wyoming and the colors in the mountains are gorgeous. It’s just a beautiful, perfect time of year.
My favorite thing about fall is the crisp chill in the air and the way the air smells as I sit on my porch watching the leaves change. Autumn is my favorite season, plus I love my hoodies and blue jeans.
The changing leaves are beautiful and I really enjoy Halloween. A lot of the “fall” scents are favorites of mine like cinnamon apple for instance.
I LOVE the cooler weather, the smell of leaves, apples & pumpkins and HALLOWEEN! I’m getting ready to decorate the porch starting Oct 1?
I am in the USA and over 18 and I love everything about Autumn the change in color and leaves the smells the cooler weather that its close to Halloween just all of it is just beautiful and new
My favorite thing about fall is the smell of the Sugar Beet factory making sugar. It brings back my youth football games, marching band and Halloween!
always have loved autumn… the equinox, halloween, day of the dead, thanksgiving, winter solstice, christmas, new years….all in a row, but My best friend used to giggle when she saw the first leaves changing, and went ALL OUT in celebrating every single holiday all fall and through the end of the year….sadly she lost her fight with cancer almost 4 years ago now, and I feel that I need to put extra effort into my rejoicing so I can celebrate for her too.
Everything about Autumn is my favorite my birthday on the 22nd of September the changing of the weather the changing of the leaves the colors of Autumn are wonderful the spiced apple cider corn mazes Halloween the crispness in the air in some states I Love Autumn all the way and being a part of it Autumn is my most favorite season
I love watching the leaves change color and the cooler weather. This is my favorite time of year.
My favorite thing about Fall is the coolness in the air. It is welcomed after warm summers. I also like the colors of Autumn in home decor, clothes and some trees…we don’t have many kinds of trees here that change color since we do not have distinctive seasonal changes.
Living in Arizona, my favorite part about autumn is definitely the cooler weather. But along with that is that crisp air scent. I do miss the changing leaves though.
The smell of dead leaves and bonfires. The sound of leaves as they crunch underfoot. Hoodies. The smell of the air. The feel of magic in the air. What DON’T I love about fall?
We have a pumpkin carving party every year with friends and family from my 94 yr. old mother and my youngest nephew who is 4 – lots of fun!
I adore Autumn for so many reasons. The golden color of the light in the late afternoon, the wild sunflowers that bloom along the roadsides, the warm days and cool nights, the sounds of the locusts bombarding me the minute I open my back door, and most especially the apples that we pick at a near by orchard.
To tell you the truth, I am really not a fan of Autumn. It just leads to winter. I hate the cold!
Living in the south I have to say the change in temperature.
I love Halloween and the leaves changing color. Autumn is wonderful because the weather is just right.
I love the changing of the leaves. The smell of fall. The cooling temperatures and less humidity that it brings. I love the rainy days and foggy mornings. I like being able to sit outside and read a book with my coffee. Wearing sweaters, hoodies, jeans, and boots. The bonfires in the back yard with my family.
I love the smell of autumn and the colors of the leaves from my trees

Camping and all that it involves! The hubs and I can’t go too far from home (medically fragile daughters) but we have several places in which we can camp for a night that are within a 30 minute drive. It helps us de-stress and un-clutter our brains so that we can keep going.
I am over 18 and live in the U.S.. The best things about autumn are cooler weather, beautiful leaves, and the bugs going away. Also Samhain to connect with those who passed
The changing leaves and Halloween.
I the smell of Autumn: pumpkin, apple, leaves, just that crisp Fall scent.
Autumn is my favorite time of year because of the scent in the air, leaves changing from greens to oranges, reds, purples and yellows, the smell of Autumn baking and cooking and of course Thanksgivng. To me Autumn is a magic time of year, especially on Halloween. Love seeing Halloween and Thanksgiving decorations. Happy Fall Y’all.
The cooler weather, colors are just magnificent. Samhain, Mabon, Autumn Equinox, the foods just everything. And Samhain…. I was born in November I. Absolutely love this time of year. I was born and raised in North Georgia. I live in Central Florida now and miss my season changes desperately. Looking to move to Virginia with the mountains and season changes. I have a new granddaughter. My son amd his family are there. Blessed be
I am 28, living in Tennessee USA. My favorite it part of autumn is the changing of leaves into bright colors and All Hallow’s Eve. It feels like a time of peace, tranquility and renewals. My favorite time of year to read lol.
I’m in the US and I’m over 18. I love the changing colors of the leaves. I grew up in the Midwest and never thought the leaves were anything special…..and then I moved to the Mid-Atlantic and then to New England. The leaves are AMAZING in those regions. Some of the trees almost look like they’re on fire, they’re so brightly colored. When I was in New England, I went “leaf peeping”, which is an actual Activity there. It means that you’re driving around, looking at the leaves. 🙂
I’m 28, live in rural Oklahoma in the USA. It’s really hard to pick my favorite part of autumn, but I love the sense of newness and magic I feel. I don’t feel anything quite like it at any other time.
I love the autumn gatherings… especially the harvest festivals and gathering together to share food! feeding people and eating with them make me happy! Thanks for asking!
I love the smell and fog mostly. I like them my drive to work already has a tone of don through the hills that I drive through. And it’s just chilly enough for a light sweater. Something about laters that just makes me
Feel comfortable. Thanks for the chance’
Autumn activities are so valuable to me because it’s the time of Pagan Picnics where we come together not only to fellowship, and meet again, but gather food for our local free food pantry and Food Banks. The privilege of gathering food for our community, and getting together to plan the scavenger hunts for food items for Halloween is such fun. I love planning and gathering the prizes for the scavenger who brings in the most items, the one who brings the most multiple items, and so on is such fun. Gathering prizes from the vendors at the picnic for prizes, like a neclace, some magic soaps, some enchanted candles is the most fun of my year. Delivering the food collected is truly a blessing to us all. I love the whole process!!!
My favorite part of autumn is the slowing down and drawing inward. It is a time of reflection and connecting with the past, the souls that have traveled on, and the darkness within. I get to assess how things are going and where I want them to be. The scents of the season are my favorite and help me get into a meditative mood. Autumn is my favorite season for all these reasons.
I am well over 18 🙂 I live in Yakima Wa. My favorite part of Autumn is watching my youngest get excited for Halloween, she always knows when its coming because the leaves change color and the weather gets cooler. She notices the costumes and candy being put out in the stores ( always way too early ) and the costumes. I enjoy her excitement, the way she changes her mind daily on what she wants to be.. One day a zombie, the next a princess.. Today she wants to be a black cat LOL.. Just asked her :p She is my miracle baby, I had cancer when I was pregnant with her, stage 2. They thought it would be better for me not to have her so I could start treatments, but I refused.. She had to come a month early because I hit stage 4.. I went through a year of complete hell, but having her inside my tummy growing and squirming about helped pull me through it.. I love watching her excitement over every little thing, but fall is her favorite, so it is mine as well 🙂 I thought I would explain why Autumn is my favorite, because it is hers. 🙂 Happy Halloween and Fall Equinox to you all
Over 18 a couple of times over, and a resident of the US. What do I love about Autumn? That’s kind of hard to answer since I live in central Florida, and we really don’t have ” Autumn”, but I do love the cooler weather, all things pumpkin spice, as well as all the deeper, darker scents that one attributes to Autumn. Halloween, and being able to dress up as anyone you want, and decking out the lawn and house in everything creepy, ( nothing gory ) and cool. Those are just a few things that I love about autumn.
What’s not to love about Autumn? I love everything. I love the feeling, the clothes, the scents, the sounds, the sights and the wonderful events that come with the season. I love the leaves when they change color and the cool crisp breezes that make you wrap yourself in a warm comfy coat/shawl and a scarf. I love the sound of crunching leaves and ravens and crows. The geese flying south for the winter. The smell of the crisp air and decay. Of woodstove smoke. Pumpkins!!!! Halloween/Samhain. The beauty of the moon on a cool autumn night. To choose just one thing I love about Autumn, would be very hard. Autumn is like coming home to me. If that makes sense. Hehe
I live in the US and am over 18 years of age. My favorite parts of the fall is to be able to sit outside with a cup of coffee at night and watch the stars. There are no blood sucking bugs to annoy me and the air is crisp and the sky is clear. I like the sound of crunching through the fallen leaves and kicking them up. I like to plant my spring bulbs, putting them to rest, knowing that in a few short months, they will be poking out the brown grass to start the seasons anew again.
My favorite part about autumn is the change in the weather, it signifies that is fireplace, warm blanket, and pumpkin latte time for me. I love the season because of corn mazes, Halloween carnivals and parties. I also have to mention that is soup and comfort food season. I am a lot of years over the age of 18 and live in the United States.
My favorite part of Autumn is the crisp wind blowing through the leaves and watching the colors changing day by day. Being able to open the windows and have a cool breeze while baking all of my favorite pumpkin flavored treats. Sitting in a chair on the porch with a warm cup of coffee, a sweater, and good company to cuddle up with on cooler evenings.
I’m in Maryland and I am over 18. My favorite part of autumn is bonfires, Halloween and the sudden realization that I don’t do back to school shopping anymore.
The season of the witch!!! I love the energy this time of year This week I woke up to the sound of crows outside my window instead of the cheerful tweeting of songbirds and it gave me such a thrill because I know soon the days will be cooler and the nights will be longer. The kitchen will be filled with the scent of pumpkin pie, apple pie, pecan pie…PIES EVERYWHERE! I will be able to enjoy a nice hot cup of coffee again (Texas summer is no place for hot drinks.) Don’t even get me started on the boots and coats. My dogs start getting a little rounder because they like to engage the squirrels in a game of “who can gather the most acorns.” They seriously eat them by the dozens daily. Most of all, I love how families gather to celebrate and we get to spread a little warmth and cheer. This will also be my sons first holiday season so it will be extra special this year.
I live in the US and am over 18.
I love fall, it’s my favorite time of the year! I love the change to cooler weather. Seeing the colors change and the start of my baking season. All the smells and crisp air, settles my soul and puts me at ease.
I am well over the age of 18 and live in the US!
Autumn here in Arizona. The smell at night, the whispers you hear in the dark. The promise of temps below 100degrees.
The energy I feel as it changes. The moon now coming in the south side of my windows, The sun has also changed and
now hitting my crystals to make rainbows. Many things I love about Autumn.
I am way over 18 and live in The US.
My favorite things about Autumn are the changing colors, and shedding of the trees’ leaves, the smells in the cool, crisp air. I love decorating my home , inside and out, for the coming Samhain holiday.
I love my friend’s annual costume party, which is always filled with fun and laughter~ and a lot of food !
Most of all, I love Autumn for the thinning veil, and the celebration for loved ones that have passed. Honoring them and remembering them is a special time for me, especially under a moonlit sky.The wheel turns ever onward.
And we can’t forget the kittehs ~ snuggly, warm , and loving kittehs that make me laugh as they play with all the decorations.
Autumn is my favorite time of year – it’s such a beautiful time of the year for many reasons. It hits all the sensory points.
Yes I am over 18.
Yes I live in the USA.
My favorite part of autumn is the cooler nights and my daughter in marching band at the high school football games. Unfortunately, this is the last year for this. I love the smell of wood burning and the smell of cool crisp air. This the time of year when I bring out my pumpkin spice candles and start using them.I start thinking about whether or not I should buy Halloween candy since I have yet to have trick or treaters at my house since I moved to this house and then it is onto getting the food menu ready for Thanksgiving. I love of the seasons but I just love the idea of cooler nights but not snowy days yet.
My favorite part of Autumn is when the weather starts cooling off. I love when its cool in the mornings and evenings. Its perfect for curling up on the couch with a good book and a cup of tea. I also love that the leaves start changing colors. They go from a dark green to vibrant oranges, yellows and reds mixed with just a few browns here and there.
I am a U.S. resident and I am 24 years old
My favorite part of Autumn is the weather. The air starts getting cooler, and the temperatures start dropping. I love Autumn because you can do so much more during the day than you can in the Summer! With the cooler temps I can start wearing my favorite thicker sweaters on a regular basis, and enjoy wearing my jeans and boots with them.
I am a US Citizen, and I am 21 years old
Pulling out all my fall and winter clothes, the color of the leaves, the flowers that are still blooming like mums, but especially apples and cider!
I am a US resident and I am over the age of 18.
I love autumn-the changing of the leaves,the perfect temps,the,bonfires,the wind,harvest season,Halloween,apple cider (apple anything lol)-what’s not to love
Fall is cooler weather with a crispness to it that I love. The color changes and the world getting ready to shed it’s old skin is just a special time of year for me.
There are so many reasons why I love fall. The colors, smells, crisp cool air. I love the chilly mornings sitting in my back yard with my husband and kitty soaking in the changing birdsong and the emerging colors. I love the road trips to see the changing colors and storing to pick up apples for baking. Oh…the baking. Apple pies, pumpkin fudge, pot roasts…the smell of roasting green Chile and fall leaves. I love my fall sweaters and wearing fall colors. But the biggest reason I love fall…Balloon Fiesta and Halloween spent with the love of my life.
My favorite part of autumn is apple cider warmed with orange slices and cinnamon sticks and sitting around a fire surrounded by friends and family. The cool air is refreshing. This year autumn is special because we found out that we are pregnant. Our child’s first movements will be felt this autumn and we will have our first sonogram on Oct 6. While our families already know we will get to tell friends and church families. I am extra excited this year because of our growing family.
I am a US citizen and my age is 22.
I love the beautiful colors , cooler weather, and to me its a great time of year to get together with friends and family and sit around a bonefire and just talk to night away…plus my birthday is in fall so of course its my favorite time of year
I am currently living in Hawaii so I miss the different seasons. Summer is great but I always enjoyed being able to put on a light sweater and have a tasty chi or apple cider. Autumn always brought that crisp to the air that had a revitalizing quality as the leaves began to change in my hometown. Less than 5 months before I move again and get to finally unpack my jeans and sweaters.

Let’s see, there is so much to love about autumn…. I love the smell, mostly of fireplaces or fire pits that are being used. I love to see all the trees change their colors and the slight nip in the air. I love going pumpkin picking and roasting the seeds for my kiddos. Food of the fall is my favorite, and not everything needs to be pumpkin spice.. but it is good. Apple pie is a must! I love decorating and celebrating the fall holidays. But if I had to choose one thing, it would be the “feel” of autumn. It’s my favorite season!
I love the changing trees, the brisk air, the rain and the feeling of change.
Autumn is awesome! The cooler weather is best! It’s reviving! It’s also cathartic. You make time for baking and relaxing. Spending more time at home with your family or loved ones or just to be.
I was born on September 22nd, every year the leaves are changing colors by my birthday. Some of my favorite things that I enjoy about Autumn are the change in the air, the smell of the leaves and fires… and the feel is totally different, people bundle up in their cozy clothes, stand a little closer, it’s a more intimate time of year. Oh and pumpkin pie! I love pumpkin pie!
My favorite thing about Autumn is the thinness of the air. It’s like it almost forces everything to be a little quieter. A little more appreciative. Autumn always feels like home. No matter where I am. Breathing just feels a little easier.
I love the cool nights and the crisp air that smells like fall. I love the colors, the scary stories, and the energy that seems to fill the air. I love being able to snuggle with a comfy blanket a good book and a hot cup of tea. There is no one favorite thing about Autumn for me because all of Autumn is my favorite thing.
I love the cooler weather! I get so tired of the heat all summer long and look forward to darkness coming earlier, the temperature dropping and more rain coming down. Nothing says fall like a cold and dreary day, and I like it!
I love the changing colors and pulling out my hoodies. The hay rides and corn mazes are always fun too but NOTHING beats Halloween. There’s nothing like the lil kids all dressed up and having fun and just walking around with your own kids being goofy all dressed up in whatever craziness they can think of. Nothing beats that!!!
My favorite part about autumn is that I am born in October. This time of the year makes me feel like myself. The most important reason is I had a dream of the goddess taking me into her arms and autumn flowers and leaves bloomed at our feet and I knew I was home.
Halloween is my favorite holiday of course. But I really love the cooler weather and the crisp, bright colors of the season. I love the nights getting longer and the sound of leaves crunching underfoot. Everything feels more vibrant to me.
There are TOO MANY things about Fall it’s hard to pick just one!! Besides being obsessed with Halloween, i yearn for the crisp days so i can walk around in my comfy Fall clothes. I loves the changing colors of the leaves that let you know Samhain is so near. I loves the things you only get to do in Fall like go to Apple Hill (here!) & hay rides, pumpkin patches, & mazes. If it could be Fall ALL YEAR LONG I’d be one happy Witch lol. Autumn, 26, California ♡♡♡ BB!
I love the clean fresh air after all the heat plus it’s my birthday on 9-21.
The changing of the leaves, the smell of the fields being burned (love the smell of smoke) and Halloween!!!!!!
I am way over 18 and live in the United States.
My favorite part of Autumn is not only the changing of the leaves and the temperatures, it is the energy shift and the smell that you can only find in the decay of the Season, when all things know that they must grow dormant to conserve energy and survive. I love to watch the animals prepare and spend more time in Nature hiking and interacting with my surroundings. I also take my cue from the critters and clean out all of the old and unnecessary and donate it. Each Mabon, our group does a canned and non-perishable food drive and bless it, then we take the things we gathered to the food banks and homeless shelters. We also start our Winter survival packs to keep in the cars and give out. I love this time of year for the hush that comes over Nature and myself. It is a great time for me to turn inward and ride out the descent of the season and prepare for a rebirth after the Winter has passed.
I am from Salisbury, NC and 28. Brightest Blessings this Mabon!
Wearing layers and boots. The death of bugs. Being able to go outside and not suffocate.
Kara, over 18 , TX. Being that I’m from Texas, the part I love the most about autumn is the cooler weather. But also love the smell in the air, the pumpkin spice everything, the leaves changing (although mostly they go from green to empty trees pretty fast).
My favorite things about fall are the cool, crisp air; the changing of the leaves. I love to go apple picking, my favorite apples are pickable mid to late October in New England.
I love the different faires and bonfires. I love the chill in the air and hoodie. But I have to say Halloween is my favorite of all!! Ty✌
My favorite part of autumn is when the leaves change and you see all the pretty colors, drinking hot cocoa by the bonfire, and that autumn means its marching band season. I also love the colder weather and hoodies.
I am over 18 years old and I live in the great state of Texas. 😉
My favorite thing about autumn…is there just one thing? LOL! I love the changing leaves and how beautiful they look falling from the trees and covering the ground. I love how the deer come out more and I get to watch them and their young wander about especially when we put out food for them in the mornings and evenings. I love the cooling temperatures and how the air gets crisper and how I can pull out my favorite boots and wear them all the time. But my favorite part by far is Halloween, my favorite holiday. I love the fun flavors and how I can really be myself. I can wear my ears, horns, hats and other costume bits and just be completely content.
I love Autumn because of the beautiful falling leaves, the awesome cooler weather and the greatest holiday of all, Samhain, occurs. It has always been my favorite time of year and my witch name is Autumn Rayne.
the feel of change in the air . the sents & leaves falling in showers of orange, golden amber & red . those few that are stuck in between . I love to twirl around in a shower of them laughing . it reminds me of my childhood when mom & i would seat with friends in the back yard . Over a fire roast marshmallows that sometimes get burned & where hotter than heck when I ate them but I loved them anyways . Looking up at the night sky over head seeing streaked with stars & feeling the cool wind coming by making me shiver .
I love autumn because the stiffling hot summer weather starts to cool. I love autumn because jeans and hoodies and my favorite comfy boots. I love it for apple cider and doughnuts. I love it for halloween and trick or treating. I love it fo Samhain and communing with my lost loved ones. Fall is my favorite season.
My favorite things about Autumn are the changes in colors on the trees, the crispness in the air, the smells of the earth changing, the smells in the kitchen of cloves, apples, cinnamon, pumpkins and other gourds. The fun of dressing for the costume parties and the gatherings that happen this time of year.
My favorite part of Autumn is definitely the changing colors and the cooler temperature. I love curling up with a good book and a cup of tea on a chilly Autumn evening!
The days get cooler and shorter making it easier to stay inside and get cozy. You spend more time with your family because they are also inside. The smell of the wood burning from the fireplace. The yellows and reds of the trees. Pumpkin pies and eggnog are my favorite though. It’s also cool enough to make my favorite foods; stews, soups, and breads. Tea in the morning just to warm you up. And even though it hurts my nose, I love the fresh, crisp air. But to be honest there is too much to name.
My favorite part of autumn would have to be the cooler weather and the leaves changing color. It’s always so pretty! I’m over 18, and live in the USA. Thanks for hosting a giveaway!!
My favorite part of autumn is the season it’s self. I love the changing colors. The green fades into gold as the year beings to slow down. The weather changing from blistering heat to cooler days. Family time is around the corner. Children are getting ready to celebrate Halloween and spend time with their families. I love being able to wear sweaters and sit by the fire place with a cup of coffee or even outside watching the sun go down. I love being able to wear boots and jeans again.
My favorite thing about autumn is the smell of the air in the chilly mornings and the rain. It’s my favorite season of all. With autumn comes curling up next to the fireplace while it’s pouring rain and reading a good book (usually a Yasmine Galenorn book). Im over 18 and I live in the Pacific NW.
I’m a Texan, and my first favorite part of Autumn is finally getting a break from 100 degree days. My mom and my son both have birthdays on Nov. 1st so Samhain is our favorite holiday. I love the color changing and the crisp air. Autumn just has its own “feel”, and I love that.
I enjoy packing a picnic, going for a ride and finding a nice place to park and just enjoy the sound of the dry leaves, the smell of the air and the changing colors of the trees. I like the fall weather, it is not to cool and not blazing hot. I always make a homemade pumpkin and cream cheese pie. I started this tradition shortly after I was married and I have been doing it ever since.
I’m over 18 and live in the US
My favorite part of Autumn is the changing of the weather. That crisp in the air and that smell that let’s you know everything is getting ready for winter. I love the changing of the leaves. They are so beautiful with all that brightness transitioning to dark. Also there’s festivals, carnivals and fairs! Bonfires, jackets, hot chocolate, Autumn just makes everything feel so cozy. It is my Favorite season.
My favorite part of Autumn is Halloween. Halloween is my favorite holiday because cats are my favorite animal and black and orange are my favorite colors.

I love the breezy weather, the leaves changing colors and falling to the ground. There is something soooo good about cloudy rainy weather with leaves underneath your feet crouching as you walk along. I love how there is a thrill to the autumn season a kind of spooky vibe that screams chills! I love that it is NOT HOT, I finally get to wear a hoodie! I love the pumpkin everything and my family and I go apple picking yearly now so that’s a thing and it is exciting! Autumn is exciting to welcome, but I am not going to lie I am even more excited that winter is just a step closer lol. I was born around autumn time (November) so that’s also a reason why I love it so much.
I am 27 years old and currently live in Texas. There are so many things that I love about Autumn. I love the way the temperature drops and how the leaves change into beautiful shades of orange that shine brightly as if the trees are on fire when the rays of the sun hits them just right. That time of the years makes me yearn to sit in front of a fire with a blanket and good book to read. I just get this homey happy feeling in the fall.
Fall is my favorite time of year with all the changing of the leaves and colder weather . But to me it’s so much more it’s harvest time and it’s so magical. Every where you look you can see ,feel, and smell it . Specially in my small mountain town in colorado. There is still so much to do in the fall……
Autumn is a wonderful time of year and there are many reasons that makes it fabulous but here are just a few that make me love it. It’s when you can walk in the woods and everyday notice more and more the colors changing becoming more vibrant making you realize just how beautiful nature is all on its own. When you take that first deep breathe of the autumn air and realize you finally get to break out the leg warmers :). Alas for me though the best and greatest part of Autumn is when you finally rake all the leaves together into one huge pile in the middle of yard to watch your grandkids running and screaming their war cries and jumping in head first trying to see who can make the biggest explosion of leaves in the air.
My favorite part about Fall is the cooler weather and the leaves changing colors. My favorite holiday has been Halloween for as long as I can remember so that’s a big plus too! I wish this season would last longer!!
My favorite thing about Autumn is where I live. I live year round in a summer community and when Autumn comes the majority of people go back to their full time homes and the animals come out of hiding. The deer walk down the streets, the squirrels and chipmunks are foraging for food to store away and the foxes come out in the evening. I also love to see the squirrels racing through the fallen leaves, they make me laugh. I am over 18 and live in New York.
The smells and the colors. The smell of pumpkins, fires, the leaves falling, the feel of the chill in the air. I love feeling how the veil is thinning. This is my favorite time of year.
My favorite things about autumn is all the decorations people put out especially the Halloween ones. I like to got to the haunted forest. I love the colors of the changing leaves and the smells that come along with it. The pumpkins are ready and it’s time for my pumpkin rolls and pumpkin spice shakes(yummy).
The colors to start. Mother nature at its finest. I live on the Olympic peninsula, which means a lot of rain! The smell of the rain mixed with the dying leaves and the fires, really gets me. I feel more peaceful being around such beauty. Decay and the quiet that autumn brings more calm to me. It also doesnt hurt that it begins the countdown to Samhain! I am 35, and from the U.S.
And an avid collector of almost all of yasmine’s books.
Every year our friends have a huge blow out Halloween party. This time of year brings party planning and costume making! My husband has gotten better at sewing than I am lol. And this year, we are collecting food donations as an “entry fee” to donate to a local food bank.
My favorite part of autumn is the crunching of leaves under my feet and the colors of the harvest moon.♡♡♡ I am a U.S. resident and am over 18. Thank you!
I’ve always loved autumn… the crisp air, the spooky stories… and the best part is my husband and I had a Halloween themed wedding on 10/30/04. 🙂
I love fall, I love the leaves changing colors, I love the smell, I love being able to light a fire in the evening, just to take the edge off the cool weather. I love cooking with fresh apples, and cider, and pumpkin.
Also, my husband and I got married on Oct 20, 2001. The leaves were in all their glory. It was the perfect temperature outside- not hot, not cold. We couldn’t have asked for better.
The autumnal harvests, comfort foods and good friends to share it all with.
The cooler weather and the smells of the coming winter. The air changes and you can feel it. The world tends to slow just the slightest.
I am a US resident and over 18, Blessed be.
I am from New Mexico and 36 yo. My favorite time of autumn is the color change of all the plants. We even got married in October so we could enjoy the weather outside that time of year.
The changing leaves and the scent in the air always make me smile. It reminds me its time to cuddle in front of the fireplace soon.
The season is a favorite in our house.
Its a spiritual time of reflection.

The cooler weather, pumpkins, beautiful leaves. It’s a time of cleansing..shedding the heat and long days. Going to bonfires and the smell of wood smoke in the air. Crisp winds and bright moons.
The leaves changing,the smells of harvest goodies. Cool evenings and bonfires with my favorite hot herbal teas. I am 46 yrs old.
