My Autumn Bucket List 2017


Summer is officially over and, once again, my favorite season is here...AUTUMN! Warm days, cool, crisp nights, bonfires, and all things pumpkin...these are the things that excite me about autumn. I have been thinking about some of the things that I'd like to do this fall and some of the things that I hope to accomplish over the course of it. I know that, in reality, I probably won't get to all of them, but having a list will certainly help me to focus on the season and remind me to enjoy it to the fullest! 
“While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease" (Genesis 8:22).

    I usually don't do bucket lists but I really like your approach especially using the list to focus on the season. Might just have to make one this year.

    I am a big fan of seasonal bucket lists! I think this fall is the first time I haven't made one... You have great things on yours! I am so eager for fall, but honestly I live in Michigan and it has been so UN-Autumn like!

      It hasn't been very autumn-like here, either, until today. This morning was cool and drizzly and, by evening, I was craving hot tea and chili. Would have loved to have a bonfire this evening, but, as of yet, there's no place to have one. Need to get a bonfire pit built soon! :)
