It was 67 degrees outside this morning. I mean, it’s already hotter and is still going to get up into the 90s today. BUT IT WAS 67 DEGREES THIS MORNING YAY.
Of all the seasons, I love fall the most. I wish Texas got more of it. It’s a busy season, though. So I’m taking a page out of Joy the Baker‘s book and making myself a fall bucket list. Except I’m calling it a fall fun list, because 1) alliteration, and 2) when I hear the word “list” every ounce of ambition I have rises up in me and soon I just have another list of chores to do. That’s not the energy we’re going for here. I want to take the time to notice the leaves changing and enjoy it. And also maybe come out of my heat-induced social slump a little.
So here are a few things I love doing in the fall and hope to enjoy in the next few months:
- Baking something with apples in it
- Making delicious soups
- Using fresh bread from the bakery as a utensil for eating homemade soup
- Taking walks
- Sitting around a fire with friends
- Drinking all the warm beverages (except pumpkin spice anywhere near my coffee – I’ll leave those for y’all- please enjoy)
- Listening to live music outside while drinking a warm beverage (and maybe there’s also a fire or heater nearby)
- Getting new boots
- Exploring cozy spots in town (alone or with friends)
This is not an exhaustive list, but it’s a good start. What are some things you enjoy doing in the fall?

Trees are key to my enjoying any outdoor activity in the summer. By autumn, I find it easier to venture away from them and explore more places. Looking forward to hiking/walking a bit more as the weather cools down some. Your bread-as-a-utensil fall fun item sounds amazing, too! 🙂
I often wish I enjoyed hiking more. It seems so relaxing and people always have such great stories about the beautiful scenery they come across. I hope you get in some great hikes this fall!
Thank you! We don’t walk as fast or as far as we used to, but we enjoy walks & hikes a lot more before and after summer. Half the joy is in the trees, hills, and wildlife you can get close to in better weather, so I know what you mean about the stories (and I have a few). I look forward to seeing a few more things soon!
