Fall is not my favorite season; I don’t look forward to colder weather. But it is unquestionably Ohio’s best season, and every fall I look forward to the seasonal hallmarks of leaves changing and neighborhood kids Trick-or-Treating.
I love taking hikes to see the beautiful leaf color and identify all the trees. If you live in the Midwest or Northeast, you can use these two posts to help you identify some leaves you’ll see changing right now, including oaks, maples, sassafras (at right), hickory, and others.

I also love curling up with a good book; in my Seasonal Reads series I discussed two great books that I love to re-read at this time of year: one a classic eerie tale, and one a funny and thrilling modern urban fantasy.
Seasonal Reads: Something Wicked This Way Comes
Seasonal Reads: Dead Beat
And if you want some background music for while you are reading, you can check out these K-pop music videos will a plethora of clowns, zombies, and crazy costumes.

I’m not a big fan of fall, either, for the same reasons you mentioned. But I do look forward to breaking out my colder weather clothes – I love soft, comfortable sweaters and anything made of fleece. And FOODS. Hot cocoa, apple cider (though I still don’t drink either as often as I drink tea), apples, pumpkin (mainly pumpkin pie, breads, and muffins) – they make the transition to fall a little more delightful, and more delicious.

Oh, you’re right, fall foods are great! I have been missing tea a lot lately because I’ve cut back since I’ve been pregnant. And I had to go buy a maternity hoodie because I couldn’t imagine being without something like that–they are so comfortable!

I love this season! Autumn is my favorite 🙂 .
That’s such a creative costume. My department did Pirates of the Caribbean this year.

That sounds like fun. Some people at my work get really into Halloween, and some people don’t at all haha
