| Fall Decorations (2023) |
The goal is to engage in some activities that are fun and joyful to celebrate this season, while keeping in mind that we will continue to have summer-like weather (it went up to 90F, today ) until well into October.
Daughter is making her own list, but, here's the list of activities I came up with:
- Decorate for fall (and Halloween and Thanksgiving)
- Bake some apple-cinnamon, zucchini-nut, and/or corn bread (or all three!)
- Bake a pie
- Make butternut squash soup and/or pumpkin curry
- Plant a fall/cool season garden
- Knit something (a pair of socks, maybe)
- Knit something (a pair of socks, maybe)
- Visit a public garden with daughter
- Celebrate Thanksgiving
What do you think? Will you join me in making a list of fun activities to do in the fall?
This is s wonderful idea, and I like your list. I'll do one also, though I'll have to think about what to include. There is a sculpture garden not too far away that I've not been to, I will put that on my list.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Celie. I didn't want to make the list yet another to do list, but, I want to take time to do something fun. I think a visit to the sculpture garden would be a fun fall activity. :)
DeleteThere's a lot better chance that we will do something fun if we think about it ahead of time and make a list. Right off the top of my head, I am going to replace the flowers in the flower boxes with pansies. There's not a lot of growing season left, but they do well in colder weather. And my husband and I are going to take a little trip that will hopefully coincide with fall foliage color.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've already started planning some joyful activities this fall, June, with planting the cold tolerant pansies and a trip that might coincide with fall foliage color. :)
DeleteI like your list. I already have a fall activity, a friend of DH has invited us to drop in at his cottage in about a week, for his birthday. This involves a drive admiring the fall colours!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a fun fall activity, Bushlady, a drive admiring the fall colors and a friend's birthday celebration, as well! :)
DeleteI hope you get to enjoy some of your ideas. Even if you do two off your list and two off your daughter's, that will be great. I do hope that at least one of them involves getting out of the house. I would like to see some photos of the botanical garden (think you have mentioned it in past "chats") and you might even find a weather vane there (or on the way!!!) :o)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Lady Ella. Yes, I've been talking about going to the botanical gardens for a while, now, and have not been making it a priority. But, this might be the year in which to finally get around to doing a few things on my wish list. :) I was in a different part of the city, the other day, and looked for weather vanes, but, didn't spot any. I haven't gone back to the area where I saw that 2nd weather vane which I didn't photograph at the time.
