Sliding Into Autumn Traditions

By: Kori McKenna

It seems Autumn is everyone's default favorite season, doesn't it? It's the "white girl's season," as many social influencers have suggested. Everyone has hopped on the bandwagon of Pumpkin Spice and everything nice during this season, including Ugg boots. Fall has always been a season of tradition, and it's perfectly fitting to celebrate such. What is not to love?

First, the temperature change is undoubtedly an excellent reason to love Autumn. It's the perfect temperature, and the landscape views are breathtaking this time of year. Living in Northern Michigan, I can attest to the beauty this season brings, not just within the landscapes but within people's souls. Something about Autumn has people slowing down and taking the time to enjoy life a bit more, perhaps the fact that it's so cold we have no choice but to live under a blanket and around the campfire!

My first fall traditions are starting as the weather has dramatically and increasingly changed from Summer to Autumn in the blink of an eye. Windy and rainy days, sunsets early, and cold weather. My first soup is in the making for next week; my favorite; Butternut Squash soup. Yes, it's soup season, and of course, Chilli Soup is next on my list. I first tried Butternut Squash Soup at Panera Bread three years ago, and I fell in love with it. I had to start making it at home, and it has proven to be a favorite in my household. I make it in the slow cooker. Yummy!

Of course, next on my list is a pumpkin patch, corn maze, apple cider, donuts, Halloween, and carving pumpkins. Im sure this is what your list looks like too! In the midst of all of this, I will be taking long walks in my sweaters and jackets, making sure to breathe in the crisp air of the new season. Grab some friends to enjoy your activities with! We all know those movie marathons are also extensive this season.

I'm at a standstill and will be enjoying what's in front of my face while I can. Fall is definitely my favorite season and has been for quite some time, so take the time to enjoy it because it won't be back for another year.

Let me know in the comments what your favorite fall traditions are!
