      cant do that here due to the animal poop everywhere. The chickens,dogs, and sucks like the fornt yard and the pigs and horse like the barn so it would be totally nasty to do that here.

      Horseback riding in the mountains. I love the chill in the air and how frisky the horses get when the weather changes.

   I live in the desert; unfortunately, we don't have seasons like most areas of the country. I try to take a drive up to the high country during Fall for a taste of the changing seasons. The beauty of nature is always inspiring.

   Fall is the most beautiful time of the year here. Abundant sunshine, comfortable temps, lots of wildflowers. I spend a lot of time outdoors, walking in beautiful places-in the woods, the gorges, along the creeks, listening to the splashing of the waterfalls.

      we head out to the State parks too. We make the drive from my area to NP's at least once. Autumn in NY is awash with color and if you haven't seen it, it's worth the visit.

   Like a few others, seasons barely exist in south Florida. But I'm from the Northeast, so it used to be jumping in piles of leaves... until I grew up enough to know that meant I had to rake them first and again after the pile jumping. During college, it was always fun to go down to all the wineries on the Finger Lakes during that time of year.

      we make that drive too. From my area (Buffalo-ish) to Naples to Geneva and Watkin's Glen.

   Watching leaves fall. (is this why it is called "fall"?)

   We go pick pumpkins with the children and find our way through corn mazes.
   
   Here in the Midwest, local farms build giant climbing structures out of hay bales, build boxes to hold dry corn just like a sandbox would (and let the kids play in them), and cut intricate mazes into their fields of dried corn. Our local winery sponsors a scarecrow making competition, too.
   
   Fall is one of my favorite times of year, and fall activities are festive and fun. Thanks for the thread, Amy!

      we have those around here. My kids favorite thing in the corn mazes and the haybale mazes. They want to make one here but I am not hauling all that hay out of the barn loft.

      You would love the scarecrows at this winery. They have Elvis and a large moving robot made entirely of tin cans. There is a Hillary Clinton scarecrow, clowns and zombies. There is a tennis player and an old woman. They all move in the wind, and the effect, even in daylight is quite chilling.

      Lizzy,
      
      I love hayrides. Especially in the evening when followed by a big bonfire.

    Dreading the inevitable arrival of winter. I'm not an optimistic or happy person.

       Can I get you a snow shovel? Or perhaps a box of cheer?

       Fortunately, I live in a condominium and someone else takes care of shoveling the snow, so I'm free to hibernate all winter. I've been busy stealing nuts from squirrels in preparation.
       
       A box of cheer? Absolutely! I didn't know they sold that in boxes now. Oh, wait. Were you talking about Cheer, the laundry detergent, not cheer as in cheerfulness? If so, would you mind bringing the Cheer in person and doing my laundry while you're here? Just asking.

    I also like watching the leaves changing in colors and watching the gingko nuts falls under the trees.

    I love breaking out the rainboots and warm sweaters to wear when it starts to cool down, and I also love when it gets cold enough to start having lots of soup again. Oh, and stepping on super crunchy leaves is definitely fun!
