But fall can pass quickly. Before you know it, the holidays are here, and you're wondering where the season went.
One way to make the most of it is to create your own fall bucket list. It doesn't need to include 40 things. Just choose a handful of activities that sound fun and make time for them.
Get Outside
Take advantage of the cooler weather with a walk, hike, or scenic drive. Visit a pumpkin patch, explore a farmers market, attend a local fall festival, or find a new park to explore. If you have kids, let them choose a few activities for the list, too.
Try Something New
Fall is a great excuse to break out of your usual routine. Try a new recipe, visit a local attraction you've never been to, take a day trip, or find a seasonal event happening nearby. You may discover a new favorite tradition.
Make Time for People
Some of the best fall activities don't cost anything. Invite a neighbor over for coffee, meet a friend for lunch, spend an afternoon playing games with the family or reconnect with someone you haven't seen in a while. You can even add a volunteer activity or food drive to your list and give back to your community.
The best part about a fall bucket list is that there are no rules. Pick the things that make you happy, put a few on the calendar, and enjoy the season before it slips away.
After all, home isn't just about the house we live in. It's also about the people, experiences, and memories we create there.
