I know that for many people, the signs of Autumn are unwelcome. It means that the lovely long Summer days have come to an end and that the long cold nights are on their way.
I have to admit…I love Autumn for a variety of reasons really.
I love…
- the gorgeous warm colours of yellows, oranges and reds as the leaves change and the sun rise and sun sets can be appreciated through the leaves.
- picking the blackberries straight from the bush and it makes our bike rides so much more fun for this
- the boys having loads of fun in the newly formed puddles from the rain and that it’s not too cold for them to enjoy being soaked
- thinking back over the things we did in the Summer and wondering what next Summer will bring
- fleeces and jeans! Anyone who knows how I love these 2 items of clothing!! Autumn means it’s perfect weather to wear them again
- watching people searching for conkers (old and young I might add!)
- the excitement that Christmas is not too far around the corner
I could go on but will stop at those for now and just carry on enjoying the Autumn whilst it lasts.
I have to admit, I’ve always been a fan of summer and hated these days drawing in, but this year I am enjoying all that autumn has to offer (wet and soggy days notwithstanding!) and yes, I always look forward to Christmas 🙂

Ah – but as long as there is a warm bath/shower after being out in the wet, soggy puddles? We had it last year where we said to the boys that they could get as wet at they liked on Christmas day – only to get back home and discover that the boiler had locked out and there was no hot water. But they had fun nonetheless x
I am a massive fan of summer and not that keen on the shorter days but I do love the start of Autumn, when everything starts turning golden and the leaves are crunchy and the days are still very long. 🙂

Couldn’t have put it better myself – I do love Autumn – and throwing leaves and crunching them under your feet.

The throwing of leaves is up there on my favourites – and if by chance I get to capture it on camera it always somehow shows the fun and happiness it brings x
I do love Autumn once I’ve accepted that summer is over. Especially on days like yesterday when there is really nothing for it but to declare a PJ day and watch movies all afternoon 🙂

I grew up in a town that only had 2 seasons – Spring and Summer compared to the 4 we have in the UK and it is lovely to see and feel the change x
Much as Autumn isn’t my favourite season there’s certainly plenty to love about it 🙂
Hope you continue to enjoy x

Thanks Jaime – PinkOddy came up with another – throwing and crunching leaves which is also so much fun to do x
Yep, Autumn’s pretty special. The tail end of a year, in technicolor. The leaves are my favourite on your list….

Thanks for stopping by – leaves seem to be a definite favourite x
I’m completely with you here! I love, love, love Autumn! I’m not a huge fan of the hot weather so when it starts to get cooler I love getting wrapped up in a big cosy jumper. And as for Christmas coming, what’s not to love!

thanks Mummy of Two! x
I’m one of those summer lovers. Living in Seattle, Fall brings dreary, cloudy, rainy days. However, as you say, there is just something special about autumn. I too like the fall colors and the cozy clothes! I also feel like autumn helps me get on a real schedule since the kids are in full school mode, days have routines, and no more late night neighborhood kid parties! Stopping by from Motivational Monday.

I adore autumn – the abundance of colours, leaves rustling under my feet and cosy evenings at home! …and not far until Christmas so what’s not to love 😉

I have been tempted to put a fire on but someone tells me that November is maybe going to bring snow…so I shall resist!
I do love autumn too but I love summer more and winter less which tants autumn for me
But Winter has some pretty good points about it too – have a great week x
