By kilax, September 23, 2011 6:12 am
It’s the first official day of fall in the northern hemisphere – what do you love (okay, and dislike) about the fall season?
I love love love love love the fall season! I love:
- Wearing jeans and long sleeved tops and feeling all cozy
- Running on trails and seeing the beautiful variation in leaf colors (and running on the crunchy leaves!)
- Running in the cooler weather!
- Drinking hot tea
- Making chili and other comfort foods!
- Not sweating every time I leave the house
- Sleeping in the cold and wrapping up in blankets
- Getting excited about the holiday season
- Fall festivals
Only dislike:
- Shorter days/less daylight

I love everything about fall! The clothes and boots! (Tights!!!!) Pumpkin-flavored stuff! Changing colors! Halloween! I blogged about it: http://runforpi.blogspot.com/2011/09/falllllll.html
🙂
FOOTBALL!! and Fall veggies! and Halloween!
I definitely enjoy running in the cooler weather, drinking warm beverages, not having to run the A/C or the heat, and wearing clothes I haven’t worn in a few months (meaning I’m not tired of them yet). But I miss the warmth of the sun and the long days. Maybe that’s why I’m in a funk this week.
This week during my meetings I sat under a downlight that was producing a lot of heat… it made me feel quite good! I wonder if people ever get those for the winter? I bet Data would like it!
Fall is my absolute favorite season too! I love those beautiful crisp and sunny fall days…we are actually having one today.
My list is the same as yours. Another thing I really love about the fall is the fog. It seems weird, but my parents live at the bottom of a bunch of hills, and in the mornings and evenings, the fields all around them get super foggy and when I drive down the hill to get to their house I can see the top of it. I LOVE that.
That sounds so beautiful! Have you shared a picture of it with us before? I love fog. It’s so… romantic. Or something. Ha ha
Sweaters and fleece jackets are my favorite thing about fall. And as long as the temps stay in the 70’s and 80’s through at least September (which they are doing this year), I’m a happy camper.
Summer is my favorite season so anything else pales, but as I’ve gotten older, I don’t mind some nice fall days.
Pro: It’s pretty.
Hot beverages & soups.
Fuzzy sweatshirts and pajamas.
Cute dresses with tights and boots.
Cons:
Short days, as you mentioned.
Winter is getting closer.
I’M ALREADY FREAKING COLD ALL THE TIME!
(I really need to consider moving to a warmer climate, hee)
Fall and winter are my favorite seasons! I’m still a month or so away from wearing jeans because at this point I refuse to purchase any. 😛 I’m still rocking my summer dresses, but on cooler days I’ve added a cardigan. LOVE cardigan weather! LOVE the colors of the leaves changing.
I love watching the leaves change colors.
I love walking through the city streets with that crispness to the air and fallen leaves under foot.
I love making crock pot dishes (something about Fall makes me want to do more of this).
PUMPKINS!
I love wearing sweaters and leggings and boots.
LOVE the fall! HATE wet fallen leaves. : )
fall is the BEST! it’s been raining for like 2 straight weeks here, and i don’t even care. as long as i get to wear boots and long sleeves, RAIN AWAY!
Ditto! The rain is not bugging me either!
I love sweaters, jeans, hoodies, the smell of the leaves, running in the cooler weather, fall festivals, pumpkins, crisp evenings walking the dog, wrapping in blankets!
Hate the lack of daylight once I’m home from work. 🙁
The cool mornings and the warm days.
The trees changing color.
Apple pie and cider
I would say yes to everything except the changing leaves. While it’s something that I like, there isn’t a dramatic change in southern CA. Shocking, I know!
Also, September and October are definitely warmer than June, and I don’t really trust that it’s “fall” until November.
One thing I love with the cooler temperatures (again, we’re talking moderately cooler – nothing like the midwest!) – fires! I can’t wait for our first fire of the season.
If you remove the running part my likes/dislikes of Fall are the same as yours. Also I love Halloween!
