It's Fall here in the United States, a beautiful time with lots of color. But shorter days which is hard for a lot of people, myself included.
So what is your favorite things about Fall?

I like the colors and the crisp air. There is something about it that is refreshing. However, fall leads to winter, so fall always make me feel a little down because I just hate winter. Fall is beautiful though.

I love the beautiful fall (autumn) colours, the shorter days (etc) tend to worsen my mental health stuff though I love the trees in autumn

Too bad the colorful trees don't stay like that all year long. The cooler air is nice. But yes it leads to winter and I can do without that.

Me too - my favourite season even if darker days are ahead too (and crisp winter days are also beautiful)

I like that it starts to cool down, and that I don't have to worry about an alergic reaction to bees and wasps, their isn't any.

I also love the leaves falling from the trees.

so pretty

and honestly?

the darker evenings.

during summer, the lighter evenings play with my agoraphobia, and make it really hard.

so it's better for me when it's darker

on the subject of agoraphobia, less people are out during fall (they all have school or work)

another thing that makes it easier for me to cope

What I like best about fall is I know I can get my boot collection back into use! Otherwise, not much else.

Funny you should mention bees. I've been feeding honey bees on my deck. Started out with about ten and now there are hundreds. With the bee population being endangered I felt like I could help but now I need to move there feeding station off my deck. The bees are real active here now.

I suppose bee keepers and stuff are trained to handle them though

I like the fall foods as well. The pumpkin pie especially. I love all the summer fresh veggies too, but it's good to switch them up a little.

I stopped counting, but I know when I put my winter stuff away last yr I counted 6 pairs of black books! That's just too much....for me anyway. But in my defense they each had different heel heights lol.
