Sorry I'm a little late today. I've been trying to post my question before I go to bed Sunday night (which is usually the wee hours of Monday morning).
September is almost here. Usually I'm happy to be done with the heat of summer; but this year was so mild and last winter so cold...I'm really sad.
There are so many things to do, locally, during the fall that normally I can't wait for. But I'm not done with the kiddie pool and suntans.
(Yes I wear sunscreen with a good SPF and reapply; but I still tan through it and I tan nicely. I consider it one of my favorite natural features.
) I'm trying to get excited about fall. I really am. I am just so going to miss the laid back lazy days of summer. This fall marks the start of our home-school as well; so big changes are coming to my house.
What is your favorite fall activity?
The leaves around here don't usually start changing till October; but my DD is already looking forward to that. My favorite things are apple and pumpkin picking. We have started apple picking every September with our kiddos. Then in October we go to one of two local farms to pick our pumpkins and do other fun fall fest type things. Both have a "corn pit" that is really fun for the kids. Big slides and hayrides too. We haven't started taking the kids through corn mazes yet; but the one farm always has a kid one. We don't celebrate Halloween; but I like to do some pumpkins and mums on our steps. It's a nice transition to go from the bright blooms of summer to the rich, warm colors of fall...before the white and brown of winter.
I almost found my fall happy...I lost it.
Walmart had hanging pots of mums out already. I may try something like that this year too. It'll keep some color in the yard.
