Fall Bucket List – 25 Things to do During the Fall Season

Fall is just around the corner! Fall is my all-time favorite season, the smells, the colors, the weather… all heavenly. To make the most out of my favorite season, I created a Fall bucket list this year of the 25 things I want to do this season. I hope my list inspires you to make your own and enjoy the season!

 

Fall Bucket List

1. Decorate outside for fall

I am planning on a Poe-themed Halloween this year. My initial fall decor will be pumpkins, gourds, ravens, mums, and husks thus far. In October I will add skulls, ghouls, and a graveyard picnic inspired by Voltaire.

2. Go pumpkin picking at a patch.

3. Go “Fall Color Touring”

4. Host a scary movie night

Of course, I will throw this event in October. Friends and family gathered in the living room, a fire roaring in the fireplace, treats, and tricks, and a good time had by all.

Here is a tutorial to make pumpkin bowls for everything you want to serve.

11. Jump into a pile of leaves like I did when I was a kid.

Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale. --- Lauren Destefano Click To Tweet

14. Make a steampunk outfit for Halloween to go along with my Poe theme.

15. Have a bonfire party and tell ghost stories.

16. Donate quality food and Halloween costumes to my local food bank.

My family does this year-round, but before Halloween, we buy and donate Halloween costumes for children in need. During Thanksgiving, we donate to provide boxes with a turkey and all the trimmings for a Thanksgiving dinner.

Helping people in need in your community is rewarding to the psyche. If you can, please consider donating to a family who needs a little help, even if it is just with your time.

Bulbs I am planting this fall

• Daffodils
• Grape Hyacinth
• Allium
• Glory-of-the-snow
• Snowdrops

18. Make leaf art projects with my kids and grandkids
