After a lovely, lingering summer, both the calendar and the weather are sliding toward autumn. I love a good seasonal list, so here’s what I’m hoping to do and enjoy this fall:
- Go apple picking (as always), eat apple cider donuts, drink chai and bake something with pumpkin.
- Take long walks and maybe a few day trips to soak in the fall colors and light.
- Reread Emily of Deep Valley – it is a perfect autumn book and I could use a dose of Emily’s “muster my wits” spirit.
- Go see the Corita Kent exhibit at the Harvard Art Museums.
- Participate in NaNoWriMo, which is always such fun.
- Find my fall flower at the local florist. This spring was all about tulips and daffodils, and this summer I fell deeply in love with sunflowers.
- Read a few “deep TBR” books that have been lingering on the stack for a while.
- Try three or four new recipes.
- See Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella onstage.
- Sip the occasional glass of Cabernet with a friend.
What’s on your list for this fall?
cakes, tea and dreams 
I hope you complete your list. Fall is the best time of year.
It’s my favorite season!
I love all of your ideas!
I guess I’ll join you on your ‘reading plans’- but while Emily is for you just a revisit, for me it will be a totally new thing.
