BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Inspiration How is everyone enjoying Autumn?

Deanna,

Oh yes, I love my window. I often sit here to drink tea and read for pleasure also. And when it rains, I am a happy little lark. There are sooo many things about my window and Autumn this Pisces child enjoys <img src="/images/graemlins/fish.gif" alt="" />

Fall is also my favorite season but we have had such bad weather the last two weeks I hope that is over. When I was a kid you could burn your leaves in your yard I miss that wonderful smell and it was fun. One time in the 70's when we had a much bigger yard I burned some leaves in the garden and a helicopter flew over and I hid so they couldn't see me. Never again did I take that chance. Now they all go to the leave mulcher near us and are cooked for compost. Yuck!

Oooooh.... Pumpkin Spice Creamer sounds absolutely decadent!

I've been making my own blend of Tea this year - Chocolate- Jasmine from Adagio, which is my 2nd runner-up favourite Tea right now, watching the nights grow longer while a lonely chill hangs quiely in the air..

I prefer winter, all two or three weeks of it we might get here. My coats and sweaters rarely see daylight.

We buy cinnamon pine cones and set them out around Thanksgiving. Its usually still too hot here to have a fire indoors--our fireplace is more a decorative piece than a useful item. We'll usually toss the turkey on the smoker so we don't have to have the air conditioning on all day.

Of course, every once in a great while, it'll get cool enough for us to pretend we have a fall for a short bit. But those years are rare.

And I understand the "I'm allergic to leaves" comment. November will mark the start of Mountain Cedar season--and the start of Cedar Fever (allergies from h#$%).

Darlene,

I remember that smell too and absolutely loved it. Not sure how I would fare these days, everything makes me sneeze, cough, or my eyes water and become red <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Ah, the joys of getting older.

LOL, I can just imagine you hiding from those helicopters <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I think I was born in the wrong place. The hotter the better, my 15yr. old daugher has asthma and allergies and you have to keep the house cool. So I have had my electric blanket out since JULY! I can't stand to be cold its beautiful for all the leaves to turn and the changes that are about to take place but the cold kills me.

Autumn is my favourite season as well. The leaves have started changing colours here in England. But they're not in full swing yet. Tried to put on one of my favourite sweaters yesterday and had to take it off. I got so hot in it. Guess I was a bit too eager!
Wow! Pumpkin spiced lattes!!!!! <img src="/images/graemlins/kiss.gif" alt="" /> I love pumpkin (I'm originally from the states so pumpkin pie, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin cheesecake--I love it all). I hope they bring those pumpkin spiced lattes here to england. Around Christmas time, we do have eggnog spiced lattes. Oh, I love it!
I too look forward to bringing out my jumpers (sweaters); cute knee high boots, pashminas and the lot.

That's a fab idea to get rid of things that don't bring you happiness. It's good feng shui as well. Banish clutter!

That's nothing, I make my own milk.
