Autumn, come quickly
Sep. 1st, 2015 12:18 pmIt's September 1st, which means I can pretend it's fall, yes? Yes! To celebrate, I'm swiping this from Tumblr and altering it because I think there are like, four people on Tumblr who care what I do, and one of them is me. :P
1. Do I ignore the leaves on sidewalks or do I purposefully step on them to hear that awesome crunching noise?
Side...walks? What are those? I've heard of such things but I so rarely see them in person that this question makes little sense. :P But no, I get it. It fully depends on the leaf color. If they're brown and dead, I'm going to crunch them because that's what they're there for. If they're red, I'm likely to scoop them up and admire them. There's really no point in crunching leaves that aren't brown as they don't make that sound.
2. Does my family rake up the fallen leaves or “leaf” them be?
Townhouse so I don't do jack. But when we lived in a house, we'd prolong the agony of raking as long as possible.
3. How close can I sit next to the fireplace before it gets too hot for me?
Our fireplaces never work so I don't need to worry. But the answer is not too close because I get hot very quickly.
4. Do I like my hot chocolate made from scratch, or made from package
5. If by package; do I like my hot chocolate made with milk or made with water
6. What is my favorite pumpkin/spice flavored food of the season?
You know, I'm not sure, actually. I think this means more investigation is required! But I will say that I love the chiffon pumpkin pie Mums makes. I can't hack regular pumpkin pie as it's too heavy but this is light and boozy.
7. Do I enjoy the frigid weather because I can wear warm comfy clothes or because I just like the air at that cold temperature
8. Does my family buy Autumn scented candles (pumpkin/spice/cinnamon/apple pie/etc) for the season?
Uhhhhhhh, duh? Yes. Totally.
9. Do I collect Fall leafs/flowers for pressing?
Nope. Just not a thing I do.
10. Does my family go away to another family member’s home during the Autumn holidays?
Nope to this.
11. Am I more active or more laid back during this season
The cool air means I can go outside and not want to die immediately.
12. Am I outside more often than inside during this season, or the other way around?
The dog and I go for extended walks.
13. Does my family go pumpkin picking around this time of year?
Sometimes but not as often as I'd like.
14. Does my family/do I have any traditions for when August rolls around?
Wow, we just ran right through August. Nope, we just go back to school. :P
15. How many batches of cookies do I make during this season?
The Cathedral year I made a lot. Last year, not so much. This year I'm hoping to make more, so we'll see how it goes.
16. Do I like eating baked pumpkin seeds
Yes, but only for a little while. Then I get bored.
17. Do I blow into the air during the fall just to see my breath
Doesn't everyone?
18. Do I prefer to cuddle in front of a fire place, or while watching a movie, or when in my bedroom?
Who am I cuddling? Why are you reminding me that I am cuddle-less? Why are you so mean?
19. Do I prefer smoked turkey or honey ham come Thanksgiving?
What if I prefer neither? I'm not super fond of Turkey, but I'm also not super fond of ham, though I will eat both. Cass makes a lovely ham and I like turkey when I can dip it in Pickapeppa sauce.
20. Which do I like better; the feel of cold rain, or the feel of a dense fog?
Both! I like walking through a dense fog and losing myself and I love walking in the cold rain so really, I'm happy either way.
21. My opinion on fuzzy boots is…
Meh?
22. Do I go hiking through the forests in this season
What forest? Hiking? Are you mad?
23. Do I enjoy the sound of birds migrating overhead?
I enjoy the sight, I don't care too much one way or the other about the sound.
24. Does my family/Do I go apple picking during this season?
Nope
25. What is my favorite Fall flavored tea
I dislike tea. You may stone me now.
26. Footies (fluffy socks)
Fluffy! Except don't wear them when going up or down stairs. Not after that Halloween...
27. KNITTED SCARFS
I actually wasn't all that fond of things around my neck, but I have two scarves now that I absolutely love from people that I love so I've come around to them.
28. Homemade Cider or store-bought
I tried to make Cider once. It was not a good thing, truly. Store bought or someone else made.
29. Do I read more books during this season, or during the summer season
I enjoy the atmosphere of reading books more in the autumn. I'm always reminded of how Claudia describes reading her Nancy Drew mystery while a thunderstorm rages outside and how deliciously spooky it all is, and that's how it feels no matter what I'm reading in the fall.
30. How good am I at pumpkin carving?
I do okay. I'm not fabulous nor will I ever be able to make money at doing it (unlike some people I know,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
irishgypsie) but I enjoy giving it a whirl and the finished products rarely embarrass me.
