Without a doubt, fall is my favorite time of year. As a child, some of my favorite events were watching football games with the family, creating “haunted trails” in the woods to scare the other neighborhood kids, and visiting the pumpkin patch. Those memories and traditions create a nostalgic feeling that I still embrace. As an adult, I find myself enjoying many similar activities, as well as some new ones.

Each year, I try to fit as many seasonal events and activities into my schedule as possible. Since tomorrow is officially the autumnal equinox, it’s time to start planning!

enjoy an afternoon picnic

What is on your list for the fall? Do you have any favorite traditions or recipes?

Live your life joyfully so,
