Fall is coming, and with it the greatest two months of the year. In fact every other seasons pales in comparison with the beauty of the beginning of days exceeding other seasons. Winter days are harsh and cold, spring is in allergy magnet, and when the weather reaches three-digits in summer, fall offers hope of better times ahead. So whenever anyone says fall is not the best season just remind them of pumpkin flavored everything.

1. Pumpkin

Pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin smoothies, pumpkin seeds, pumpkin bread, and of course pumpkin picking. For anyone who loves pumpkins fall is the most enjoyable time of the year.

2. The Leaves

When the leaves change into beautiful hues of red, orange, and yellows it not only makes for a picturesque moment but also an homage to childhood when the leaves fall and they can be played in for hours.

3. The Weather

The weather is the perfect temperture. A cross between the excessivley hot days of summer and the harsh cold days of winter. There is also a crsispness about the air that makes even the most mundane activites like playing in the leaves enjoyable.

4. Halloween

Halloween is one of the most definitive parts about fall. Who doesn’t love dressing up as someone else for the night, going to themed parties, and of course getting tons of free candy from random houses?

5, Thanksgiving

A time to celebrate and give thanks for all the good in life, especially the delicious food in front of you. Thanksgiving is a food lover’s paradise and is the perfect excuse to go back for a 2^nd, 3^rd, and even 4^th serving of food! Because

6. Apple Picking

Autumn is apple season and there is nothing more fun and rewarding than picking your own apple!

7. Candy

Because of Halloween, a plethora of candy comes out in the fall that is non-existent in other seasons. For example, candy corn, pumpkin spice M&M’s, gummy body parts, and caramel apples.

8. Clothing

Oversized sweaters, riding boots, and poufy scarves are staples of fall fashion every year, and after a season of heat waves and skimpy clothes it is nice to be able to wear something just a little bit more comfortable.

9. Football

Friday Night Football games, tailgating, and fantasy football leagues have a special place reserved for most people during the fall season. “Football party food” and screaming at the TV is mandatory.

10. State Fairs

Fried foods and fun rides are another great way to kick off the fall season. Annually, autumn is usually when state fairs occur and they are a great place to come for entertainment, shopping, rides, and of course the delicious food.

11. Corn Mazes

Who doesn’t love getting lost in corn? It is a fun event at many festivals, and can create hours of entertainment for people who are horrible with direction. Be careful though because this will not be a “walk in the stalk.”

12. Pie

Pumpkin, pecan, and apple are just some of the traditional favorites. These tasty deliquesces are at the peak of ripeness during autumn and do not taste nearly as good during any other season of the year.

13. Clocks Change

Getting to set the clocks back an hour is a blessing for those of us who love extra sleep. So roll over in bed and relax because autumn has all of us covered, and in the morning treat yourself to a pumpkin spice latte because that is the real best part about fall.
