Fall is my favorite season as well.  It is also apple season here.  There aren't too many orchards in this area but there are a couple.  I love the colors.  I also like the warm days that aren't humid and the cool nights.

The fall is my favorite season with the cooler weather and shorter days. The bad part is raking all the leaves.

Well, my birthday is in the fall so that's a plus, I love pumpkin pie, the leaves that fall everywhere, and the tree changes up north.

I love the colours of fall, but that's about it. I hate that the days keep getting shorter and cooler. And I especially hate that each day of fall brings us one day closer to winter. I love summer and even though this one has been hot and very dry, it still won't be long enough for me.

Fall has always been my favorite. I look forward to sweatshirt and jeans. The color changes. The warm days and cool nights. I love pumpkin rolls. This is the time of year that the women start baking especially in my family. I love the smells of baked pies and breads.

Yes, I live in the South. We have had much rain and high humidity. I love the fall of the year when things cool off a bit. I like it when no heat or air conditioning is needed in the house. I love sitting on my screen porch when it is cool, a breeze blowing and my cat in my lap. We have fruit here in the yard that is ready now, three kinds of grapes and pears on the pear trees. I am going to cook some of the pears.
I used to make jelly when my son was still at home. Now I just eat what I want, take bags of them to church and give them away. :lol3:

There's no fall in Florida. Just more summer. No leaves changing or anything like that. When I lived up north, I hated fall because it meant school was starting again and it meant that winter was on the way. I loathe northern winters. Always have- always will.

I love winters here. We finally cool off for a while and I can shut the AC off.

Pretty pictures!

We like the changing leaves. There's a difference smell in the air when fall comes around. We like to have fires outside and sit there and spend the night watching the fire burn down. We like going down to the apple orchard and picking apples for applesauce, for apple pies, for apple dumplings. It's nice to have the windows open without all the humidity in the air.

It's also depressing though. The days start getting shorter; the nights start getting longer. I leave for work in the dark and when I have meetings after work, I go home in the dark. It gets cold; I hate being cold.

Fall has always been my favorite season too. I love the cooler crisp days, as well as the colors, although we don't get too much of it here on the coast of NC. Our spring & falls tend to be short, then right into the next season. I also love the in-between weather, not needing heat or air, & some days being perfect for opening the windows for some fresh air. I also love Thanksgiving. Mmmm the food!![emoji]128513[/emoji]

very nice! 
  yes, raking the leaves. although, running over the leaves with the lawn mower chops leaves up very well and then they can simply be left where they are.

Hi Top Cat,

I've tried using the lawn mower on my leaves but the volume of leaves that I have is just too much. The last couple of years I got somebody to mow the leaves on a riding mower and he picked up the leave with the mower and put them in my back yard in the woods. I have a very small yard but there are 12 to 15 very large trees.

yes, this is definitely so.
  i focus on more time to snuggle up with my cats, read, and do other leisure time activities indoors. although, winter is also a time i do certain indoors chores, like clean the baseboards and clean under/behind the large appliances.

i agree, the smells of baking are wonderful! 
  i'll start baking desserts again this fall, once the weather cools down. i've got a new recipe i'm wanting to make -- snickerdoodle cake.
