My favorite thing about fall is seasonal foods. I have a German-American family so I like when it’s a good season to pull out some root vegetables that we canned and make a really big pot of stew. Or my mom will go crazy making some homemake schnitzel and the homemade gravies. She’ll make spätzle around the fall. So those are my favorite things, the seasonal foods that kind of rely on what was either canned earlier in the year and saved or what is coming out, like butternut squash and the root vegetables and rutabagas.

My favorite thing about fall is the weather. The heat goes down. The bugs start to go to bed. And you can go outside again.
Ryan Key
The weather, the leaves the colors, I love fall. And usually football season, but I’m an Auburn fan. So not so much right now.
Something else about fall, the Halloween movies. Michael Myers. That is the best. Halloween 4 is the best.
Cat Dillard
Fall. I love it. It’s been very exciting being here because we’ve been in Florida for so long and you really don’t get fall there. So it’s been quite nice. We’re actually kind of up high on Smith Lake and we have a screened in porch. It’s like we joke because it’s like an aviary but we’re the birds. And we sit on our little screened-in porch and we listened all the birds and nobody’s around. It’s awesome.
So bringing back the fall into that. It’s just beautiful to see all the leaves turn and to experience. And summer dies down. My favorite part, nature. The leaves.

Ah, the lack of humidity. When the winds come from the north and not the south. The change of the color, the palate completely changes here in Alabama. The plant life, the goldenrod, the trees, changing of the leaves. I love everything about fall. It’s my favorite time of the year. Including the holidays — Halloween, Thanksgiving and then that final goodbye that leads into Christmas.
