Today’s prompt for #Blogtober20 is “Into the Groove”. I don’t really know what to do with that prompt, so instead I’m going to share my fall bucket list. September is usually mild here, but by October, fall weather is truly here. That is, two years ago, we had a day in mid-October when the temperature rose to 27°C. That seems unlikely this year. It’s windy and rainy right now. Fall is here! Let me share my fall bucket list.
1. Play in a pile of fallen leaves. I would really like to do that this year. I used to love the colors of fallen leaves. Now, I can no longer see them, but I can still smell and feel the leaves and hear them rustle.
2. Do a fall-related craft. I have been looking at lots of projects to try. For example, someone in a craft-related Facebook group did a needle-felted pumpkin. I’ve never tried needle felting, but I immediately wondered whether it’d be doable for me. I’ve also seen lots of other fall-related crafts and want to try at least one of them.
3. Prepare some fall-related food. I’d love to try something with pumpkin spice, as I just recently learned what it is and that it doesn’t involve actual pumpkin. I think it’s delicious!
4. Make a fall-themed soap. I think one of my favorite soaping suppliers has a photo contest in November – at least they did in previous years. I never participated, as I won’t win anyway, but I want to try this year. In any case, in previous years, all contestants would get a coupon just for participating. I don’t have fall-themed molds, but of course I could experiment with fall-related ingredients too. Otherwise, I could just participate with a different themed soap, as there is no set theme.
5. Read a thriller or other spooky book. I’ve seen a lot of them on people’s fall TBRs. I’m not a big fan of fantasy, but I do like the occasional thriller.
6. Create a fall-based tablescape. Or do some other fall-themed decorating in my room. I’ve not done tablescapes at all before. I mean, I don’t have a table that isn’t used. However, now I do have the small table that I can use until someone else needs it. It has just my essential oil diffuser on it. I would really like to create some fall-related decor on that table.
What’s on your fall bucket list?

I used to love playing in fallen leaves as a kid. We had a birch tree in our backyard, so that was perfect.

Playing in fallen leaves is fun! Even my Misha likes it. I mean, he doesn’t go out, but we often bring him leaves since we’ve realised how much he enjoys them. He never likes typical cat toys, especially shop-bought, but only things that have a very natural smell to them, like leaves and cones and feathers. And so since I know Misha I associate fallen leaves with him very much. I think if he got a chance to play in fallen leaves outside he’d embrace it happily!
Hope you get to do all of the things on your bucket list! 🙂

Those piles of leaves always look like so much fun but they’d sure make a mess in the kitty furs!

Agree! Our cat isn’t allowed to go outside, so he doesn’t get to play in those piles.

I always find it so funny that Pumpkin Spice doesn’t have pumpkin in it, and instead is just spices that test good with Pumpkins. I hope you achieve all of your goals!
