Today officially marks the FIRST day of fall 2019! That means bye-bye summer…see you next year…a bittersweet feeling for many of us because we know what’s next…(I refuse to say the ‘W’ word!)

However…before we get to *THAT* time…let us embrace the autumn and all it has to offer! Here are just five (of many reasons) to love the Fall!

#1. PUMPKIN EVERYTHING!

Pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin pie, pumpkin crisp…you get the picture. This is the time of the year that everything turns into pumpkin. From the extra cream in your coffee, to the whipped topping on your ice cream, we seem to forget pumpkin can be enjoyed year round…and instead just wait until the next 8 weeks to get our fill!

#2. SWEATER WEATHER

You know they’re calling to you. They’ve been sitting in storage or the back of your closet all summer long and now…it’s your sweaters turn to shine! On those cool Autumn days, what feels better than your chunky sweater…or maybe curling up with a cup of cider, good book and your old warm sweater. You get the picture, sweaters are ESSENTIAL at this time of the year!

#3. ALL THE COLOURS

What’s better on a gorgeous autumn day than hopping in your car and driving around town seeing all the colours!.The reds, oranges, yellows, greens, oh my! Plus, when they start to fall off…the best part? Raking them up and jumping in a massive leaf pile!

#4. APPLE PICKING!

Just like it’s all about the pumpkin…apple is also a favourite at this time of the year. Apple picking is so enjoyable on a nice fall day when the sun is shining and the crisp air is just as lovely as the crisp apples you can pick for pies, crumbles, tarts…or just to eat as is and right off the tree! It can also be a great family outing and a way for you to make some seriously great family memories!

#5. HALLOWEEN

Who doesn’t love Halloween?! The candy is EVERYWHERE, you get classic fun films on T.V such as Hocus Pocus, Beetlejuice, A Nightmare Before Christmas, etc. and it gives you an excuse to dress up OR down for a day at work. May we suggest showing up in your PJ’s and going as “A sleep walker?” You’re welcome.
