Yesterday I stopped by a local farm and bought a few pumpkins, I couldn’t resist. We’ve had more squash {mostly butternut} growing in the backyard than pumpkins this year, and the pumpkins we do have back there, well they aren’t quite ready yet so I finally broke down and picked up a few to place on the front porch.
There’s just something so happy and simple about pumpkins on a front porch. It’s like a signal of sorts that cooler temps are on the horizon, and sipping hot chocolate and apple cider and wearing sweaters will soon become the norm again.
I don’t know about you, but I absolutely LOVE fall, and everything about it, especially the chilly mornings and fall colors. And the candles… oh how I love burning scented candles in the fall. 🙂 🙂 🙂
It’s been a while since I’ve done a giveaway… and so I thought with it being just a few days into fall, now would be the perfect time to give away a few of my all time favorite scented candles.

Your leaves falling down, like a pretty colored rain,
All the apples and pumpkins we get to enjoy again.
Fall, you are beautiful, how I love you so, thank you for stopping by each year, to say Hello.
Katrina says
Cleaning up the yard and veggie garden. It’s hard because I live in Southern CA where we can actually garden all year. Sometimes it’s hard to make everything rest. I do look forward to my Fuyu Persimmon tree’s fruit. The taste of a persimmon reminds me of fall. The Persimmon tree gives us the prettiest foliage in the yard. I do miss cooler and more traditional fall weather.

My grandmother’s birthday was September 22nd – the first day of fall. I miss her terribly and think about her all the time, but especially on her birthday. Every fall I re-read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. I was told at her funeral that it was a favorite of hers. It’s been eleven years since I lost her. Every fall when I read it, I feel close to her. I’d give anything to have her back. I also learned that she and I shared a love for plum wine. So, for me, the best thing about fall is sitting outside wrapped in a blanket with a glass of wine reading a special book, and remembering the person that made me feel the most loved in this world.

Jeni says
Fall used to be my very favorite season of all for the color and the time to wrap up in sweaters and be cozy. Then I started associating fall with the dreaded next season of winter and its bitter cold in MN. Since I’ve moved south I’m loving the idea of Fall again *because* it signals the start of cooler weather. And this year I’ll get to go to the mountains an hour away and see the beauty of the trees turning color again.
Teresa says
I love absolutely everything about fall…it’s my favorite time of the year…so it’s hard for me to choose just one thing…but I guess just the ‘coziness’ of it all…the change in the weather making us yearn for all the warm comforts inside…candles and fireplaces…blankets and sweaters…chili and pumpkin spice…Halloween and Thanksgiving…
~Have a lovely day!

Until I retired recently, my favorite thing about Fall was school starting back up. I loved getting my classroom/lab in order, opening boxes of supplies, catching up with my colleagues and meeting all of the new freshman students as they transitioned, nervously, into high school.

The comforting smells of nature and fall spices in goodies we bake. How can you resist a pumpkin muffin, pear gallette or Mavis’s upside down pear gingerbread cake, home baked bread, apple cinnamon rolls, turkey dinner and all the trimmings, etc.
I love the smell after the rain, chimney smoke in the air, taking a walk with your friend thru the crunch and earthy smell color full dry leaves, (even better yet watching kids and dogs jump into the pile) …. inhaling a huge breath of cool air and then releasing it in the wind, only to see a wispy funnel cloud of trailing breath before you.
Yup, so glad fall is here. And in the west we “fall back” an hour. Yeah, sleeping in.

Fall brings a season of slowing down, the start of fires in the fireplace, comfort foods, and fall colors in nature. It’s the best time of the year!

susan russell says
I so enjoyed reading everyone’s comments as I also love all those things about my favorite season. The best thing about fall is the first few cooler mornings. Here in NC, after a sweltering, humid summer, when I go out to my porch swing to drink my coffee, and feel that first bit of crisp air, I suddenly feel more alive. Its as though my blood is suddenly thinner, the summer lethargy is gone, and my brain just feels sharper. Even my animals feel it! My dog and cat start playing again, running and chasing each other. The squirrels are doing the same while gathering their food for the winter. Everything in nature is friskier this time of year!
Paula says
My favorite thing about fall is wearing my well-loved hoodie while drinking my steaming coffee on our porch. I love to be out there before anyone else stirs. It’s a special moment.

I love Fall! My absolute favorite thing is the shift in smells. SO many wonderful smells… I start baking more, with new spices; the smell of the first rains; the smell of the wood stove being used again; and finally the smell of all the candles I start to use more because of the shorten days. Ah – I love fall.

How can there ever be just one thing to love about Fall?? It’s the pallette that is painted across the countryside, the smells (burning leaves, candles, crisp air), the boots and coats coming out of the closet, Halloween (um, the candy!), the chance to sit outside in a sweater or sweats, or pajamas and fires and s’mores. I love everything about Fall-except Daylight Savings Time! October is also the month that my sister, my Mom and I all celebrate our birthdays…bonus!
Ashleah says
My favorite thing about fall is being able to keep the windows open to smell the crisp air that comes in autumn. And fires in my fireplace (which means s’mores)!

I love Fall. My favorite season for sure.
I drive 2-1/2 hours (each way) to visit an amazing place during the Fall. They have hayrides, pick your own apples and pumpkins, a corn maze, fresh baked pies, apple cider, BBQ, roasted corn, ice cream, hot dogs, deli sandwiches, a farmers market, gift shop, and a petting zoo. A real harvest celebration. I love sharing the experience with my friends. My dog loves Fall too!

I love school soccer season, especially this year because my son made the High School soccer team as a freshman, and our team was ranked 4th in the state last year!!! Unfortunately, they haven’t been able to play games for the past three weeks due to an uptick in covid numbers in our county, but this week school is back in session in person, and the team is back on the field…for 4 games!
