I am linking up with Mindi, from Simply Stavish for Elaine’s Old School Blogging link up! The topic is fall and since the first day of autumn is here, I figured it would be fun. Check out my answers to their questions below and make sure to share your fall-centric answers too!
1. What Fall traditions do you have?
The number one annual tradition I have is apple picking! As you saw here in this post.
2. What is your favorite fall recipe?
Anything with apples – especially crisp or a crumble! This post explains my favorite ways to use up our apples we picked. Or pumpkin recipes are always good too!
3. What is a favorite Fall photo (or photos) you’ve taken?
Definitely this recent apple picture! So cool!
4. Football – love it or hate it (maybe it steals your hubby away)?
Neither! Pretty neutral – I will watch it but I won’t drop everything and yes it does steal Sal away from the apartment which equals remote and couch to myself; ha.
5. What was your favorite Halloween costume as a kid?
Gosh- I used to literally be something different every single year and sometimes even multiple costumes that week or weekend! I think cat was my go-to no matter what age because it was easy.
6. Pumpkins or Ghosts or both?
Pumpkins! Ghosts are too scary.
7. What’s your favorite fall fashion item (boots? scarves? sweaters?, etc.)
My go-to is leggings, tall flat boots, a tunic, and an infinity or pashmina scarf! I literally wear a scarf every day when it gets cooler out.
8. Is “leaf pile jumping” your thing or not?
I can’t remember the last time I did that. So nope.
9. Is “It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” a must-watch at your house?
Nah but I am sure when there are kids involved that will change!
10. What are you going to be for Halloween this year (or your kids…)?
We are going to a wedding that weekend so I think costumes aren’t in the cards.
Happy Fall to you all!!!
I am a huge fan of leggings too!!!!
They are sooo comfortable !
I wish I lived somewhere where I could pick apples. And yes, apple crisp, SO good! Thanks for joining in with Old School Blogging! 🙂
We’re trying to coordinate my husband’s work schedule with an apple picking trip soon. I love taking the kids to do that!!
Elaine, you must be like Jenny and live in Florida where it’s too warm to grow apples.
I read here where some orange groves let you pick their oranges…I’d say that’s a good trade… Although I agree with Michelle hat apple crisps and crumbles are amazing.
With oranges you can’t do much baking, but they are so good to eat and make good juice.
Michelle, you must have really hip parents to have let you wear a Playboy bunny costume as a Halloween costume. That’s a great idea for a costume – the ears are so darn cute. I bet the neighborhood boys must have loved you!!!!! Hahahaha
Rabi you need to tell your husband to skip out of work early and lets go picking all work and no fun makes dante a dull boy. Cynthia I have lived in florida for many years and have never and I mean never heard of pick your own oranges where would one do this exactly. Heading to fenway soon to see that cutie Jeter, so sad I wont be able to watch him in those tight baseball pants anymore
;(
Rabia
I like your glasses. Do you live some place really cold; I see you’re wearing a scarf tightly bundled and it’s 70 degrees?
Are you perhaps in one of the Dakotas or maybe Big Sky Country, Montana? Brrrrr to those northern states.
Have fun picking apples with the kids. Do you make apple crisp or apple brown betty? Both are great with vanilla ice cream aka ” a la mode.”
We went apple picking for the fist time last year and it was so awesome! Hoping we go back again this year. WE’re not huge on #9 either, but all these fall posts with Charlie Brown fans are making me want to watch it!
Dante, you must be sad that you went to Fenway and Derek Jeter didn’t play.
Did you try to get a refund or at least a free ticket to the Sunday game..
Thanks for setting the record straight on orange picking
You sound authoritative. And I also find it cool that you and the rabbi want to go apple picking. I don’t think one of the Buddhist monks from my temple would do that, but then again nobody has probabky ever asked them – they may like it.
And I love pashminas, I have a cashmere one and just love it. It was a gift from someone who went to Dubai so it’s the real deal. Having generous friends is the best!!!
One more thing, I agree with Cynthia that the Playboy Bunny costume you eire is so great. I may steal that one for myself and just hope it’s not too cold
