This unicorn is enjoying Autumn. Are you?
Spring used to be my favorite season, but this year I’m excited for the Fall*. It’s a good-looking season (but in a more nuanced way than the overly gregarious and pastel Spring), it doesn’t have miserable effects on my mood like dreary Winter, and it will be a relief coming on the heels of recent record-breaking Summer temperatures.
Here are ten ways to welcome it:
- Get your roommate to bring home a crate of apples, like mine did, and have an apple crumble baking party. Also try: apple butter, apple sauce, and apple cider.
- Make a cornucopia. Then, say the word out loud for fun. (Did you know it’s somehow related to unicorns?)
- Celebrate the September equinox on the 23rd at 3:09 am by calling a friend in the opposite hemisphere (northern/southern) and talking about how you’re experiencing a night of the same length. (Hint: try to find someone who is as far away from the equator as you are, but in the opposite direction.)
- Get lost in a corn maze. Get found again.
- Start planning your Halloween costume.
- Watch some of the good t.v. that’s returning. Not too much.
- Buy a new matching hat, scarf, and gloves set.
- Go on a hayride.
- Eat candy corn. Not too much.
- Watch movies about time travel.**
* In case it’s not obvious, I’m writing about the Northern seasons in this entry.
** Appropriate for Winter, Spring, and Summer as well.
