Awesome Autumn
Awesome Autumn | Bruce Goldstone
18 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Autumn is awesome! Leaves change color. Animals fly south or get ready to hibernate. People harvest crops and dress up as scary creatures for Halloween. And then there are pickup football games to play, Thanksgiving foods to eat, leaf piles to jump inall the amazing things that happen as the air turns crisp and cool. With colorful photographs, lively explanations, and classic craft ideas, Bruce Goldstone has created a festive and fascinating exploration of autumn's awesomeness.

Thank you for the tag @Nute :)

1. When I did live in a place with 4 seasons, it's probably that crisp chill that enters the air when you know summer is over. I loved that. The air smells different!

2. Tam Lin by Pamela Dean

3. I'm reading a few for Litsy group reads but right now I'm Thinking of Ending Things by Iain Reed is creeping me out. The thing about this book is I don't yet know WHY it's creeping me out 😩

erzascarletbookgasm @Bklover 🙌 Now let‘s see if @batsy will do the same. 😄 4y
Amiable I live in a place with four seasons—and I agree. The crisp autumn air does smell different. 🥰 4y
batsy @erzascarletbookgasm @Bklover I just finished! I think I saw what was coming early but still need to process 🤯 4y
batsy @Eggs ❤️ 4y
batsy @AllisonM89 Love meeting another Tam Lin fan! 😁 4y
batsy @Amiable It does! There's a different quality to the air 😊 4y
Amiable @batsy And also? You can smell it in the air when it‘s about to snow. People who don‘t live in an area where there‘s a distinct winter don‘t know that. 4y
Nute I‘m not very fond of cold weather, but I do enjoy the very first experience of cooler temperatures and crisp autumn air after hot summer days each year. 4y
Nute The general consensus seems to be that I‘m Thinking of Ending Things is a strange, dark and peculiar story. Do you agree? Did you finally solve why it was creeping you out? 4y
batsy @Amiable Yes, the memory of the scent in the air before snow is still distinct years later! 4y
batsy @Nute I finally finished it, and yes it is indeed all of those things. I think the ending resolves some things but it's a bleak, disturbing, and sad book in many ways. Have you read it? 4y
rubyslippersreads @batsy @AllisonM89 I‘ve had Tam Lin on my TBR list for ages. Have you read 4y
AllisonM89 @rubyslippersreads no, but I'm adding it to my list now!! 4y
batsy @AllisonM89 @rubyslippersreads I loved Fire and Hemlock! 4y

Fall is not coming....it is here! 🍁🍂🍁🍂If I have to go out, it will make me sick but since I am at home, in comfy clothing and comfy spot, reading, drinking coffee and eating chocolate cookies, looking my beautiful books received in last swaps....the day is still glorious! 📖☕️🤓💛💛💛💛and all of you makes the day special! 😘

mabell Sounds lovely! Enjoy! (Do you have fall allergies?) 6y
Gissy @mabell No, I don't suffer from allergies 😓I know for some persons this season is hard. Do you have allergies? Here in PR we are experiencing foggy days lately. The good part is that days like these prevent the formation of hurricanes. The hurricane season is until October 31😳I'm almost finishing The Secrets of Chimneys and the chocolate cookies I was eating were the ones you sent me. They are in the refrigerator and I'm eating them slowly☺️ 6y
mabell @Gissy Ah I get what you mean now! No, fortunately I don't suffer from allergies either. I love foggy days! And that is good those types of days prevent hurricane formation! I can't imagine going through each fall, worrying about them. 😔 I hope you are enjoying Secret of Chimneys! Ironically, I'm reading it now too! For the billionth time. 😂😂 I also *may* have picked up more chocolate chip cookies for the future 😉 6y

#HelloThursday @wanderinglynn

1. I'm from the UK so autumn. The Fall is a post-punk band fronted by arch miseralbist Mark E. Smith.
2. Not specifically a treat but Hallowe'en is very much my bag.
3. I'll wait in the pub.
4. Nearest I've got is hand selecting Pink Ladies from Morrison's.
5. I like it (flavour & scent) but don't get the hysteria over it.

wanderinglynn Thanks for playing! 🍎🍁🌻 6y
2BR02B I love your answer to #1 🤘 6y
scowler1 Fall is apparently a shortened version of the English 16th century fall of the leaf. We stole Autumn from the French because we thought it sounded so posh. 6y
Velvetfur @readingjedi your answers made me chuckle so much! "I'll wait in the pub" is so very British ? 6y

Here‘s the path to my local library. It‘s well and truly autumn here! Although it‘s still hitting 20 deg C most days.

Who amongst you calls it Fall? Just the USA?

ItsAngel We call it fall here (Alabama, USA) but autumn is such a pretty word! 6y
Palimpsest I‘m in the U.S. (Wisconsin) and I still prefer to say autumn, but maybe that‘s just me 🍂 6y
AlaMich It looks very pretty and all, but we‘ve had such a long winter here in Chicago and many parts of the US that I am waayyyy happier to see spring finally arrive! 🌞🌷🌹 6y

Clwojick We call it fall in Ontario, Canada. But I also love the word autumn, and use that frequently as well. 6y
Centique @AlaMich fair enough! We had such a hot summer that I was looking forward to autumn but now I see the price of fruit and veg skyrocketing - maybe not! 😂 6y
Centique @Clwojick @Palimpsest @ItsAngel interesting to see both words used. Also hello Alabama, Wisconsin and Ontario!🖐🖐🖐 6y
CarolynM Weird for it to still be this warm and sunny after Anzac Day, isn't it? Forecast is for 23 here today. 6y
Centique @CarolynM it IS weird! The world is turned on its head lately 🙃 6y
Reggie I wish we were already there at Fall‘s door. Lovely pic. 6y
Centique @Reggie thanks Reggie! It‘s one little green spot in between cranes building beachside apartments. I hope your summer isn‘t too hot! 6y
Jeg Love these autumn days. Warm and no wind. I‘ve been on the planet quite a few years. Back in the day when we had 3 terms at school and holidays in May I can remember swimming in these holidays at our local beach. 6y
Centique @Jeg I grew up with 3 terms and holidays in May too! We can be the “old wise ones” right? 👍😂 6y

Everyone is complaining about the crisp wind and rain. I, on the other hand, am really enjoying this right now. What could be cozier than bundling up on the couch and reading while it‘s yucky outside?

RealLifeReading I like your description of the "crisp" wind and rain. I kinda miss the rain! 6y

It's definitely felt like fall in Chicago this past week and I am ready for it.

🍁 Pumpkin
🍁 Cozy book
🍁 Hayride
🍁 Both! Cocoa feels a little more wintertime to me, though
🍁 Pumpkin patch
🍁 Tailgating
🍁 Football--totally inescapable in my house (my boyfriend is a huge Packers fan and I went to Notre Dame) 🏈

@Tiffy_Reads this was so fun! #falltimefavorites

🍎 Apple, mostly because I hate pumpkin pie so much (but like other pumpkin things!)
🍁 Cozy probably, because I don't like gore, but I LOVE ghosts
👻 Haunted house, maybe? Haunted hayride!!
🍵 Apple cider. Cocoa is for winter
🌽 Corn maze, just because I've never been to one
🔥 Bonfire, but tailgating food sounds exciting
👎 NEVER football. Leave me with the tailgate food
