I absolutely love fall. Most nearly everything about it, especially the fall activities.
I feel so grateful to live in a place with 4 seasons. And even if some points of the seasons are definitely not my favorite (e.g. 100F and 80% humidity or an ice storm), it’s nice to have the changes.
Here in New England, our fall is all about soaking up the last warm days that remind us of summer then we turn our focus towards the holidays especially Halloween and Thanksgiving before sliding into winter and Christmas.
Technically, the first day of autumn this year is September 22, 2018 but Labor Day seems to be the unofficial turning point.
