My favorite fall memory is taking the hayride to the pumpkin patch on the near by farm and running around trying to pick my perfect pumpkin. Then me and my mom would take the hayride back and sit by the bon fire at the farm and eat Cinnamon Apple Cider donuts and drink warm Apple Cider. The smells of that day instantly remind me….it is FALL! Love this time of year!

As a little girl, I was always so excited about fall. The cooler breeze, the sounds of leaves rustling, and the upcoming approach of the holiday season; just like when you listen to a beautiful live symphony concert and the music they play sends glorious chills throughout your soul ! and I spin…slowly with my arms out to feel every cool brisk and I look up at the sky…the dimming light of fall, and take a deep breath. Ahh, so relaxing, a time when all the earth seems calm. I thank God, I thank God for this beautiful time. I will bask in it as long as the moment allows.

Those are my fond memories of fall.

My favorite memory of Fall was getting married 18 years ago on October 10th. I was hoping for a beautiful fall day in New England, but when I woke up it was pouring! Thunder, lightning…it was not what I dreamed of. We couldn’t take pictures outside that morning but I took some consolation in how the rain had made the foliage look so much more vibrant. I can still remember the vivid colors of the maple trees as we drove to the church. We had a beautiful ceremony that helped us forget about the rain. When it was over, my new husband and I walked down the aisle. Our photographer opened the church doors and we were greeted by bright sun! Unbelievably, the rain had stopped and the sky had completely cleared completely in that one hour. It was a beautiful sunny, fall day after all! Eighteen years later, I’m grateful for how lucky we’ve been and look forward to celebrating our anniversary on 10-10-10!

I love Fall, and just has you said, it is a time for beginnings..the beginning of the wonderful holiday season! Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, it all seems like a blur once it gets started! Fall is especially great, because of the weather, sometimes getting some final days of warmth to enjoy…One of my fav Fall memories has to do with my sister and myself. She is 10 yrs older than me, so growing up with her, I idolized her, and followed her around like a puppy, lol..even much to her dismay as she became older in her teenage years! At our home, we had a retaining wall on one side of our house about 3-4 ft high (not sure, but it seemed big to me when I was younger). My sister, Dad, and I would rake leaves in the front yard, and rake them off the “cliff” into the back yard, where they would accumulate and then bag them up later. But before they were bagged, my sis and I would spend hours jumping in them, and climbing back up the wall to do it all over again…Even when my sis was older and in high school, she would still play with me every year when it came to be leaf raking time…she loved it almost as much as I did! I treasure and miss those fun Autumn afternoons,…and I was reminded of those days everytime my own children played in the leaves with each other when they were little…I hope they remember those days with their siblings, as fondly as I remember them with my sister…

When I was young, growing up in New Jersey, I loved raking the leaves and then jumping in them. Living in So Cal we don’t have fall and most of the trees retain their leaves.

Growing up in Illinois with lots of trees in our yard when I young I remember my brother and I raking up the leaves into big piles. We would run and jump into the piles for hours. Remember the smell of my grandmother’s hot apple spiced cider on a chilly day.

My favorite fall memory is the year that we went to a farm where we got to go through maze made up of hay bales, and then we took a hay ride that ended with apple cider! It was really great fun and something different for a fall activity that we hadn’t done before, outside the normal pumpkin and apple picking.

My Best memories of Fall are going to the Pumpkin Patch with my kids ever year when they were little,picking out the biggest pumpkins we could carry taking them back on the hay ride, then taking them home to carve with Pumpkinmasters designs,and eating carmel apple taffies, yum! Halloween is our favorite holiday and we have ben told by many trick or treaters and their Parents that they come around every year just to see our jack o laterns, that makes it all worth while .My kids learn to decorate pumpkins really well very early on with supervision of course!Happy fall everyone!!

Favorite Fall memory was getting married almost 31 years ago. October’s my favorite month… roasted pumpkin seeds,pumpkin hunting, caramel apples, the beautiful leaf colors and jumping into huge piles of leaves piled into huge colored mountains.

My second favorite fall memory is of my young daughter, now a young woman, who was receiving her first leaf helping lesson. While piles of leaves were being raked up, she was asked to help stomp on the bagged leaves so we could fit more into the bags. We came back from a short break to find her stomping all over the unbagged leaves on the ground and scattering our carefully raked piles; she thought she had found a time saving solution! Every autumn I find I’m still laughing when I see piles of leaves on a lawn. Wouldn’t it be lovely to enjoy a delicious caramel apple cake while reflecting on fall memories?
