Go for a walk on a foggy morning. Hello , crisp Fall Air!!!

I love these!!!! We do Hungarian bacon roasts in the summer but we also do a big one in the fall since they are made over an open campfire, it is so damn good and the smell of the bacon bread, campfire and fall leaves all together is just amazing!

Visit a Farmer's Market



These are your last few months to enjoy seasonal, locally grown food from a farmers’ market. Bring your pickings back, and get creative with apples, beets, leeks, parsnips, and mushrooms—all of which are best in the fall. Before you head out, learn the 13 things farmers’ markets won’t tell you.

Play in the leaves



Raking your backyard will seem like much less of a chore when you can look forward to jumping into your pile. Even if you don’t have kids, let your inner child out while diving in to the soft leaves.

Make Leaf Art



Gather the prettiest fallen leaves, then press and varnish them to make them last. Mount your pressed leaves in frames for a pretty, autumn-inspired artwork that you’ll want to keep up all year.

Enjoy a Bonfire



When the weather is chilly but not frigid, a cozy bonfire can give your night a warm glow. Grab a few friends and some s’mores fixings, and share stories while you gather around the flames.

Start a Gratitude Journal



Thanksgiving is a natural time to appreciate everything you have to be thankful for, but don’t limit it to late November. Make a habit of acknowledging something you’re grateful for every day, and record it in a journal. Flip through whenever you’re feeling down.

Volunteer as a Family



Instead of (or before) sitting down for your own Thanksgiving feast, lend a hand at a local food pantry. Soup kitchens tend to see more volunteers and donations around the holidays, so make a commitment to volunteer once a week or once a month if you can.
