Oh, it’s finally here. I LOOOVe fall, it is unquestionably my favorite time of the year. There is so much to love. Fall to me means football, foliage and fun. The air smells so good. There is excitement in the air for back to school and new seasons for football. The leaves and trees are so beautiful. And finally, all the fun and festivities with Halloween and leading into the holiday season.
Why is Fall so Fabulous
Fall is the perfect time to appreciate nature’s Splendor. Fall is often called the most beautiful season, and it’s not hard to see why. As the leaves change color, the landscape is transformed into a riot of oranges, yellows, and reds.
Even the sky seems brighter during fall, as the sunlight filters through the colorful foliage. Of course, fall isn’t just about the visual beauty.
There’s also the crispness in the air, the sound of leaves crunching underfoot, and the smell of woodsmoke in the air. All of these sensory experiences come together to create a truly magical time of year.
The Best Fall Activities for a Fabulous Fall
Fall is the best time of year, for lots of folks. Here are some of the best activities to enjoy during this season.
- First, there’s nothing quite like getting outdoors and enjoying the crisp autumn air. Take a hike through your favorite forest or go for a long walk in the park. You’ll be surprised how much better you feel when you get some fresh air.

What’s even more fun is to invite friends and family to join the celebration of your favorite local team. Get together and go to a sports bar before the big game, invite a group to tailgate, or stay at home and enjoy the game on the gridiron from a comfortable place on the sofa.

How to Prepare for the Fabulous Fall Weather
While the Fall season can be a wonderful time of year, it’s also a good time to start thinking about home maintenance, fall wardrobe essentials, and winterizing your car. To help you prepare for the fabulous fall weather, I’ve compiled a few tips.
First, take a walk around your home and look for any areas that need repair. Gutters should be cleared of debris, windows should be sealed, and chimneys should be inspected. If you have a wood burning fireplace, this is also a good time to hire a chimney sweep.
Second start thinking about your fall wardrobe. A cozy sweater or a stylish jacket paired with your favorite boots can go a long way in keeping you cozy and comfortable. Be sure to also have a jasket or two just in case the temperatures start to dip.
Finally, don’t forget to winterize your car. A little bit of preventative maintenance will keep your car running smoothly in the fall and on into winter. So, make sure to check the fluids, brakes, and tires before fall ends and the snow starts to fly.
