Sweater weather, my favourite time of year. Plus, the colour changes of the leaves, crisp cool air. Autumn is my favourite time of year!

...looking over the river valley today - it is filled with heavy fog - I love the autumn season too - its my favorite season - and of course then its time to start pondering about Christmas - or the serenity and beauty of what winter brings to us . . . ah the cycle of life!

Sweaters, cozy fleece, I love the return to cooking comfort foods, and baking. I do change my decor. I put away the light/bright colors and I add heavier curtains, plush pillows, and soft fleece blankets in the living room, also heavier duvets, and sheets in the bedrooms.

Change out the outside decor, put up fall colours and decals on the windows, a nice wreath and such.  
 
But I just have not bothered the last few years. We've had a bunch of smallish children that run around our neighborhood un attended by adults and things get trampled and broken. Kind of deflates what you are trying to do.  
 
Now I just change the colours in doors, new table cloth, fall candles, scentsy gets changed to cinnamon and spicey type scents.  
 
I start to do up freezer dinners too, like cabbage rolls and things that you don't want to heat the house up making in the summer.  
 
I start to make a lot more soups too, especially my "baked potato" soup.  
 
I did notice a sudden change in the air this morning, with that storm that rolled through, there was suddenly that September chill feeling. And I drove down Frederick Street by the hospital and saw an old maple had turned yellow and was falling...it's coming folks.....

Thick socks! Knee high boots and over sized sweaters.

I see the tree outside my south facing windows is already displaying many yellow leaves. It seems early for the leaf colour changes already - but yes, autum is on her way . . . summer good bye - summer good bye [I remember singing that song when I was a child] It went like this:  
 
 
Summer goodbye, summer goodbye  
you may no longer stay,  
Autumn is on her waaaaay  
Summer goodby, summer goodbye  
 
Summer goodby, summer goodbye  
Roses sweet petals shed  
apples are turning red  
summer good bye, summer good bye
