With the weather cooling down this labor day weekend, I am ready to say goodbye to summer and hello to my favorite season.While it is sad to see the pools closing, fall has so many things to make up for it. Here is why fall is the greatest season ever.
1. The Cool weather
Summers great, don't get me wrong. I love summer too. But I'm tired of sweating. And hiding in the house due to the humidity is not how I like to spend my summer days. Fall is the relief from those very hot and sticky days. You're able to open the windows and enjoy the cool air.
2. The Clothes
There's hoodies, and leggings, and comfy sweaters. Boots, and scarves, and flannels. Fall clothes are really cozy and warm. The color scheme of fall is the cherry on top of it all- taupes, maroons, mustards, clays, browns. Nothing beats the fall color scheme.
3. Pumpkin Picking & Carving
One of my favorite activities of the fall is pumpkin picking. Who doesn't love to get on a wagon, drive out to a field, and be super picky about which pumpkin to choose. What makes the experience even more fun is browsing through the shops some pumpkin patches have that also offer apple cider and hot chocolate. And once home, trying to find a design to carve into your pumpkin is even harder. With so many options how do you decide?
4. Just Pumpkin Everything
It's not just about the pumpkin picking, it's about pumpkin flavored everything. You know it's fall when the pumpkin spiced latte hits Starbucks menu. And this fall season, Starbucks is introducing a new fall drink called the chile mocha. But the pumpkin doesn't stop there. There's pumpkin pie pop-tarts, pumpkin spice m&ms, pumpkin spice Oreos, Ben and Jerry's Pumpkin cheesecake ice cream, if you can think of it, it probably comes in a pumpkin flavor. Theres even pumpkin scented candles, lotions, and fragrances.
5. Halloween
Halloween is one of my favorite seasons. From its scares, and haunts to trick-or-treating for candy, Halloween has something for everyone. I strongly believe that you're never to old to dress up! Target's Halloween section makes it's appearance and offers all kinds of cute decor and costumes. Halloween stores pop up just about everywhere and stores such as bath and body works premiere there halloween edition merchandise.
6. Corn Mazes
Whether it's a flash light corn maze, a family friendly one, or a haunted corn maze, they are all amazing. My favorite corn maze to go to is Cherry Crest Adventure Farm located in Ronks, PA. Each year, the maze has a different design and there are different levels of difficulty to choose from. My group thought we could conquer the hardest level without a problem and we spent next to 45 minutes going in a giant circle.
7. The leaves change color
Pennsylvania is always beautiful, but one of the most beautiful things to see is the leaves changing color. It seems to happen over night and before you realize it, they're all red, yellow, and orange.
