Ok, so I have a confession to make. I used to really not like autumn as a season up until a couple of years ago. In fact, I used to not like it for some of the reasons I now love it. Just shows how a person's tastes can change. So here's why I now like Autumn.
1. The colours of the leaves
Man I used to hate this. I like pastel colours and the oranges and reds were just bleh to me. But I've found an appreciation for it. I love it as much as the green grass after a drought or the green leaves on trees in spring.
2. Cooler weather
I love pyjamas. I love my duvet. I do not like having to sleep without my duvet because it's too hot. Just don't like getting hot when I'm trying to sleep full stop. So I find peace in the fact that I can cosy up at night as the weather gets cooler.
3. Spooky season
I've enjoyed Halloween ever since I was a child trick or treating. But I have an appreciation now for all the nuances and characteristics. Music, themed food, foggy weather, dark evenings etc.
4. Hot food
Ok, so we eat hot food all year round but in autumn it starts getting to the point where the heat in the food is warming and relaxing. I get cravings for something hot to eat.
5. Pumpkins
They look awesome. I like the pumpkin themed foods and pumpkin spice but pumpkins themselves just look amazing. I drove past a pumpkin patch being harvested the other day and it look so fun.
6. Nuts
I have fond memories of going on walks with my dad's family foraging for chestnuts and beech nuts. I love eating nuts so these were and are a highlight for me when I go for a walk at the right time for harvesting.
7. Window displays
I think autumn window displays (and other displays) come second to Christmas. Places go all out with the colours associated with autumn whereas other season don't have that so much. You recognise an autumn display from a mile off.
What are the reasons that make you like autumn?
