I love the crisp mornings and being able to sleep with all the windows open. I love decorating the outside of the house. I have Fall stuff and then special stuff for Halloween and Thanksgiving. I get tons of mums in pretty colors. I cannot wait to decorate my new house!
I also love going apple picking. The boys and I go every year with all my in laws. We have such a good time. The colors are so pretty. I hope we can squeeze it in before we move.

My favorite things about Fall -
Stomping wooly bears
Shooting pigeons
Putting a match to leaves...in someone else's yard
Telling little kids that Halloween has been cancelled
Floating mannequins in roadside ponds

Sounds like a blast Duchess. I especially like the mannequins in roadside ponds.

It makes people slam on their brakes when they see that!
Alrighty. Cluck Cluck Cluck. I like Fall too & for the same reasons most do. I like turning off the air and opening the windows again, my ceiling fans have been running non-stop since April.
I like Fall decor inside & out too. I buy mums, pumpkins, cornstalks & Indian corn. I'd do an elaborate Halloween display but as most already know I don't get kids who trick or treat because I live in the country & my driveway is so long. No parent in their right mind would bring their kid up here.
I LOVE football season.
There's a lot more I like about it but I don't want to think about it. I'm not ready to give up my Summer.

I like fall as well, especially Halloween. We always got around 85 to 95+ trick or treater's each season. Loved seeing all the little kids in their little costumes. One season, I got the bright idea of stuffing a pair of my jeans & big ole plaid shirt with newspaper, putting a belt on it and joining them together, and then added a paper bag with red eyes on it for the head. I then put a rope around the neck, & hung it hanging down in front of my doorway. Well only about a dozen or so older kids ventured up past the hanging body. I later learned (from one of the little kids parents) that all the little kids were too afraid to want to come up past the hanged man. So I wound up with a lot of candy left over that year!

I put a baby monitor in the guy I made one year and he even talked.

I LOVE the fall because I can get out my fat(ter) clothes and not get as strange looks when I see friends (You know those looks---OMFG, you got fat!).
I HATE the fall because I can't walk through my backyard without running into 15 spider webs and my allergies are 100X worst than the Spring.
I love Halloween up until the actual day. Then me and Hubs always go out to eat and do our Sam's Club shopping because no one is there....plus my 3 dogs go NUTS when anyone comes in our driveway.
