my bucket list for this fall season!! i do a lot of these things already every year, so not all of them are new, but i always enjoy participating in traditions, like pumpkin patches, pumpkin spice drinks, and roasting marshmallows.
we always go to a different pumpkin patch in october, and i'm excited to start looking for which one we will go to this year, especially now that we have another addition to our family to take!! obviously with having kids, we always try to choose one that has a lot of activities (and preferably also a petting zoo). however, i haven't been very good at keeping carving/painting pumpkins a tradition, and i really want to make it one, so i'm going to try and do that this year with my family.
i already have a ton of fall decorations for inside my home, but i definitely need some more outdoor pieces. maybe some scarecrows and fake pumpkins/gourds? i like the americana style of seasonal decorations, and it's relatively easy to come across those in thrift stores. earlier this year i also dried and hung orange and grapefruit slices on a garland for my house, so maybe i can do something similar for outside that won't be eaten by birds and bugs.
one item on this list that i haven't done is go to a fall festival or market. i have been to small ones that were advertised as such, but they definitely didn't give off the "autumn" vibe i was looking for, so i'll have to find some this year that meet my expectations a bit more. i have a dream of going to salem, massachusetts in the fall one day, as well as the PNW area, just because of the amazing fall vibes they give off!!
do you have anything on your fall bucket list that isn't listed here? do you have any fall traditions in your house?
until next time, ciao!!
