Fall is the best time of year. There are a million reasons why fall is the best season, so I will just list a few for you. For one, there is apple cider! And for all the pumpkin lovers that can drink pumpkin in 100 degree weather, there is pumpkin everything!
The leaves change colors, which makes the landscapes look like a painting. It makes you take a step back, and appreciate things you never fully notice in the summer.
Next comes, sweater weather! Where you get to break out all those sweaters that make you sweat just by looking at them in the summer. Hay rides and corn mazes are a fun fall activity. Even though I always get lost every single time I enter a corn maze. Picking out your pumpkin to carve, is the best. The smell of cinnamon is the air every place you go, which makes every place cozy and warm. Picking out a bundle of apples to make homemade apple pie or applesauce is always a great thing do on rainy days. And we know there are plenty of rain days during fall.
Between my friends and I, it is always a competition to see who can get the biggest pumpkin. Or, who can carry the heaviest one, without dropping it. So for me, thats about four pounds. Roasting the pumpkin after you carve, is such a tasty treat.When I was younger, I never use to eat them. Also, something you can only find around this time of the year is those cartel apple lollipops, which are a must have. Being older, they are one of my favorite things about the season. When carving pumpkins, my family makes it a serious activity. We picked the highest skill level of carving, and sit there for about two hours, focusing on our design.
Decorating for Halloween is one of my favorites, except for when the fake spider webs get caught in absolutely everything I am doing. But the fact that you can go any way with your decorations is fun. Drinking hot chocolate and making amores around bonfires is the highlight of the season. Getting so close to the bonfire, that if you go any closer you may melt, but it is too cold the farther away you get. With the arriving of fall means the best holidays are coming up. Halloween, being fun and festive and candy filled which is always a plus. Then comes Thanksgiving, which is personally, my favorite. In my family we have a tradition of staying in our pajamas all day, calling it PJ Thanksgiving. Which is the best decision anyone has made in my family.
Go out and enjoy fall, because before you blink, it gets too cold to even get out of bed. Before you have to put on 20 layers of clothes to brave the walk to class or out to get the mail.
