Today’s topic for the #5Things challenge is things we love about autumn. Or fall of course, as I primarily use American English on my blog (as far as I’m aware). Fall is my least favorite season and today is a beautiful late summer day with temps having risen to 26°C. However, there are definitely signs that fall is upon us already. To prepare myself, I’m sharing my favorite things about the season.
1. Fall colors. Like DrTanya mentioned in her original post, there’s something special about the specific shades of orange, yellow, red and green that come with fall. I am of course no longer able to actually see colors, but I can still imagine what they look like.
2. Warm, comfy clothes. Of course, I mentioned that one of my favorite things about summer is the ability to wear skirts and other looser-fitting clothes. However, I also love the feel of my more autumnal clothes. I especially will be looking for a onesie someday this fall.
3. Comfort food. DrTanya already mentioned apple pie. Mmm, how I love this! I also really want to be making pumpkin spiced something at least once this fall.
4. Decorating for a new season. I don’t really have much in the way of home decor in my room, but would really like to change that. One of my staff already offered to make a fall-themed table decoration with me.
I am quite the collector type, so I love looking for pine cones, acorns and fallen leaves.
5. Spending more time indoors. Fall is most known for its rainy days. While I don’t like rainy weather itself, I can appreciate the time to be indoors and read or craft.
What are some things you love about fall?
I enjoy the autumn season. I would say it is my favorite season. I like the cooler weather and the leaves. I like drinking hot chocolate once in a while though that is more for winter.

Autumn is my favourite too. Not as hot as summer and not as cold as winter, still riding the good mood that summer brings unlike spring where you’re carrying the gloominess of winter around. And jumpers are my favourite, I have way too many but I love them!

Fab list. I think spring is my favourite season but autumn is a very close second.
I love getting out my jumpers and cosy blankets, but most of all lighting our open fires.
Also love decorating for fall. I normally get the crochet hooks out and make something new.
Have a lovely rest of the weekend. ❤️

Oh yes, fall is a great season for crocheting or other crafts. I am glad you like fall. I am not a fan of open fires, honestly. They scare me.

That makes sense. I’m not an RA survivor, but I do have many trigger dates in the fall too.
