1:22AM (PST) tomorrow! Yaaaaaaay!

Does anyone else have the major fall love? Any silly seasonal traditions?

We always toast the season when it arrives, take a tree drive to see what's changing colors, and start adding fresh ground cinnamon to the brewing coffee grounds (allspice and nutmeg go in once winter starts).

I'm super stoked!

    Haha, I've been trying my hardest not to put up decorations until it was actually here, but saw some great country style stuff when I took a drive the other day! Love it when people put a nice display at the end of their driveway with corn and pumpkins, etc. It really gets me in the mood (for fall, obviously). The boxes of decor are waiting on the porch as well as a big fall flag I just got at a yard sale. Something to look forward to after work!

    Fall is my most favorite season ever. I make homemade apple butter every fall when the Honeycrisps come out.

    I've been scouting all the free apple spots in town in hopes of some butter fixins! Do you find honeycrisp is the best? Mine may end up being a mutt mixture.

    I've done pear butter for several years but our tree was unhappy this year. Only 5 pears!

    My FAVORITE time of year, and lots of traditions. First and foremost is being "THAT GUY" about how AMAZING Fall is and pissing people off for being a Fall junkie. I am already getting my Fall decorations out and setup around the house, including buying stuff for Halloween which I start setting up this weekend. I also ALWAYS have leaves and such around, as well as bountiful pics and such. I do a few trips up north to check out the leaves changing...buy good fresh apple cider....start drinking dark and hearty beers....and so much more! Of course, Fall IS HUNTING and HARVESTING food in traditional ways too.

    Yay for fall! Already bought the biggest pumpkin ever; looks disproportionate to my porch. I tend to be a sucker for any seasonal product with fall seasoning...pumpkin spice....etc.

    So much awesomeness!

    And as far as being "that guy", there was this skit on SNL a while back with Josh Brolin being "that guy". Of course SNL sucks and removes anything the second it hits youtube so finding a vid is impossible.

    I found the transcript though. :laugh: http://snltranscripts.jt.org/08/08efall.phtml

    Thanks! Now I know what I'm making for Saturday's dinner! :drinker:

    With The Pioneer Woman's creamy baked mashed potatoes of course...and possibly some roasted squash of sorts. Oh God....consume all the fall goodness!

    I like fall, but summer is my absolute favorite. Although I cannot resist the beautiful leaves and a good bonfire!

    I would love to feel the wonderfulness of fall. But since it's Houston, I still hAve at least a month and a half of summer. Lol

    Omg, yay for all the awesome pics! Yes! More pictures! And whatever tasty vittles you find or silly things you enjoy. :laugh: It makes me all geeked out.

    Not a great pic, but you can really see where the eastern gold miners came and settled down, bringing their native trees with them. This is last year, downtown Nevada City, CA, from the top of Sugarloaf mountain. Green and white building is the National Hotel (so amazingly awesome inside), big white building is the courthouse.

    I am a tad disappointed that I was feelin' all pot roasty and falled up for the weekend and a fishing trip, but it's supposed to be 91°F during the day... *sigh* Not very fall-like yet.

    Finally got my act together and put some stuff up in the shack. With this, and the little storm rolling through, it's really startin' to feel seasonal!
