It's nice to know you can rely on autumn to show up every year. Colors begin to change as a new season begins.

Here are some things to look forward to as autumn sneaks up on you.

The leaves changing color

If you live in a place with lots of trees, this is one of the most exciting parts of autumn. The leaves are so vibrant that sometimes when you’re driving down the road, you need to pull over and appreciate the sight.

Big pumpkins

Going pumpkin picking is a tradition in and of itself. When you’re at the pumpkin patch, you’re mesmerized by how big a pumpkin can grow. Pictures with your friends at the pumpkin patch are essential.

Hot apple cider

This is one of my favorites. Hot apple cider with cinnamon in a mug warms you up on the chilly autumn nights. Curl up with your mug and a good book.

Autumn is one the most beautiful seasons. Yeah, all of the plants are dying, leaves are falling, and the temperatures start to go down, but it is beautiful. While some plants are dying, some are growing. From this season, we get pumpkins, orange skies, and yellow leaves. I’ll end with a few quotes about autumn to get you pumped for the season ahead.

“Every leaf speaks to me, fluttering from the autumn tree.” -Emily Bronte

“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” -Lucy Maud Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

“Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.” -F. Scott Fitzgerald

“Listen! The wind is rising and the air is wild with leaves, we have had our summer evenings, now for October eves.” -Humbert Wolfe
