Great Ways to Enjoy the Autumn Weather

As the temperature cools and children return to school, the common cold afflicts many, but it does not mean that the fall is not fun. Try these suggestions for inexpensive ways to enjoy the season.

  • Apple Picking - Now is the perfect time to pick apples. Ripe apples are ready at farms everywhere. Apple picking is a great activity to do with family and with friends. Apple pie, apple crisp, simply baked apples or simply apples – the picking is only the beginning.


  • Leaf Gathering - The trees are losing their leaves to the ground and it’s time to bring out the rakes. But before the leaves are raked, they are such an enjoyment for children especially. Raking them into a pile and jumping in them is an ever popular favorite.


  • Brisk Windy Walks - A good fall breeze can be a refreshing way to put a smile on. Take a walk in the wind and the trees, but dress appropriately for the weather.


  • Enjoy Fall Festivals - Many cities and small towns have their own festivals in the fall, celebrating autumn, the harvest and the changing times. These festivals can give a great homey, small town feeling to any place. They are full of attractions and good food and are enjoyable by young and old alike. They can be found on the internet & newspapers.


  • Bike Riding - Yes, this is usually a summer activity, but during autumn the weather is mild and great for bike rides. The exercise is less strenuous when the air is cooler rather than warmer. If it is a little too cool, bike riding can actually warm the body up.


  • Take a Country Drive - Taking a country drive is even better in the fall than it is in the summer. The changing fall colors will always be a joy to watch. Bring a camera along and try for some great candid shots of the trees and the falling leaves. Adopted From www.suite101.com
