Things to be thankful for: What are your favorite parts of fall?

[Lambano]

Certain flowers bloom in the Fall: Mums, daisies, asters, the pretty yellow things that grow natively around here…

 

[Lambano]

Smells are also memory triggers: Burning leaves, fireplace logs, roasting turkey…

Grandparents are always the best to learn from.

I have to admit I do love the falling leaves of fall. There are some really cool pictures of this on the internet:

Was looking forward to some pumpkin spice muffins but the store was all out of them.

I love the feeling of crunching leaves under my feet.

The air itself is crisp and cool.

I love wearing sweaters and layers with boots.

The pumpkin spice coffees are the best thing to me to look forward to fall.. But people around here tend to have a negative perspective on it. Its associated with rich basic women.

I don't care, I like it. Lol

Good for you, there is nothing wrong with any kind of ‘ different coffee ‘ …………mind you when I get mine from Costa they are quite expensive, so you would need to be rich to get them a lot !!
I have them two times a week, oh actually I have a tassimo machine at home …………..that can work out expensive, but just sooooooo nice x

@Rita What I remember from Britain is the coffee bars early in the morning which did a roaring trade with commuters who arrived at railway stations and drank coffee and croissants - delicious - before heading to their places of work....

All it seems to need is for Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater to loom in the distance...

Yes, that’s kind of changed to Costa’s , Starbucks and Neros being all over the place, so now it’s take always , and it’s not just commuters on there way to work by trains, it’s workers using buses. At one time we weren’t allowed to take the ‘ hot coffees ‘on buses ( some of the drivers would react and refuse to let us on. Thankfully that has changed now x

@Rita Some of those brands weren't there in Britain decades back...

Anyway, it's pumpkin season now...

Pumpkin carving has become quite a big thing also:

 

[Waiting on him]

It’s a time to reap the benefits of a long summers labors. I also being an oil painter love the cadmiums displayed, soon all will be russet followed by grey.

 

[Truman]

I'm thankful that Yahweh opened my eyes up to what Halloween is really all about, including how it is a gross insult to Him.

@Waiting Oh of course, you and @VictoryinJesus are very artistic; and I guess the fall colours are an inspiration.

The seasons make me think of Genesis 8.22...

"While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease."
