Live with the seasons: enjoy autumn!

Here are some ways to enjoy the autumn days making use of the beauty that nature brings us this season. Make sure you spend some time outdoors before it gets too cold. Winter will be there before you know it, so make sure you make use of this pretty time of year :)

Help the animals and put up strings with nuts, food for the birds or take your old bread to the pond to feed the ducks.


Try homemade soup:
Grab some of your favorite veggies, like sweet potatoes, corn, broccoli, pumpkin, peas, spinach and so on.
Mix it with a tasty stock and you are all set up. If you mix in some beans or pasta you have a very balanced meal which you can eat for lunch, dinner or freeze for later. You can also try to cook with the veggies and fruits from the season. There are tons of delicious autumn recipes out there.


Collect autumn leaves and other souveniers and get creative! Make a fall table, paint with leaves, make funny men from chestnuts, remember what you liked to do when you were a child!

Look here for some more ideas.

Enjoy a walk in a nearby forest and photograph everything around you! For some free fun rake up a pile of leaves and jump in it! Throw leaves at your friends. Search for other free autumn related activities in your neighborhood.


Make your home more cozy:
Buy some cute lamps and fall decorations! Decorate your house in style. Also get a few fleece blankets to wrap yourself in when you are cold. It is also a great time to stock up on candles again.
Like this autumn themed kitchen here or a livingroom.


Make a list of books you still want to read or movies you want to watch. Those long fall nights are perfect for quiet indoor activities.


Go apple picking and bake apple pie. Then eat it warm from the oven.
