“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers” – L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

Hello friends! I can’t believe it’s October already – I feel like there’s been a weird time warp this year with Covid and quarantine, but here we are all the same. October means autumn is in full-swing around here. I’ve already decorated and started entering my coziest time of the year!

Knowing it’s my favorite time of the year, I had to prepare for all the fun ahead by doing one of my favorite things: I made a list. Ha! A bucket list, of all the fun and amazing things I hope to do this autumn season. So, without further ado, here it is…

Autumn Bucket List

• Take an autumn hike through the redwoods
• Bake a pie
• Visit a pumpkin patch
• Carve pumpkins
• Watch Hocus Pocus
• Have a bonfire
• Simmer potpourri on the stove to make our house smell amazing
• Enjoy a favorite autumn drink
• Enjoy a caramel apple
• Get dressed up for Halloween
• Make chili
• Bundle up + go stargazing
• Have a scary movie night
• Look for fall foliage
• Walk around downtown’s historic district
• VOTE
• Celebrate my birthday
• Celebrate Thanksgiving
• Knit the blanket I started for my husband last year (!!!)
• Cozy up and enjoy the extra time at home

I’m keeping it as simple as I can this year, embracing this season in life as well as the season I love.

What will you be doing this autumn? Let me know in a comment below!
