“Not until September 22nd”, but there’s nothing wrong with a little “head start”, and a whole lot of
“temperature drop” encouragement!

What is/are your most favorite thing(s) about Autumn?

Mine is snuggling up to @Inkandtatts with a cozy blanket and watching a movie on the projector screen in the crisp, cool nights air.

Hoping for an Indian summer, up to at least the first half of October. With day-time temperatures of around 22 C and night-time temperatures of 12 C, with plenty of sunshine and little to no precipitation. Plenty of rain from the end of October till the end of November to make up for the 5 week dry spell, with the exception of a couple of sunny days from the 5th of November till the 9th of November (very specific, but I’ve got festivities planned that week) and finishing off with another dry spell lasting from the end of November well into January, with the exception of Xmas, which hopefully will be a white Xmas.

Also how many perks are there to becoming a Forum VIP?

The ones I know of for certain are:
1. The ability to have your username changed.
2. The ability to edit your “title” on here.
3. Your username color changes from “blue” to “yellow”.

I’ll certainly follow back up with any additional perks I learn of!
 
Favourite thing about Autumn? She was cute, a little feisty but gosh she talks a lot.

But Summer, wow she's a stunner with a no nonsense attitude. A real hottie.
 
Technically you're incorrect until September 22 😂😂😂 although it IS starting to both feel it and get darker earlier so...
Maybe you're not as incorrect as I tease you about, now that I think about it. 😂
 
I also LOVE making Fall snack mix!
fall-trail-mix-8-683x1024.jpg
<---- Looks like this

Ingredients for the mix if anyone wants to make it.

Chex Mix
Mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
Brach’s Autumn Mix
Reese’s Pieces
Chocolate covered pretzels
White chocolate covered pretzels
White chocolate chips
Crunch & Munch caramel popcorn
White Chocolate

What I do is melt the white chocolate and pour the white chocolate over the ingredients that are mixed up untill all of its covered with white chocolate, then you freeze it!

It's so good! If I make it this year I will have to show everyone.
 
Screw the southern hemisphere, where spring has sprung. It’s bad enough all the good Christmas songs are about snow and cold and warm fires and snowmen. How about sweaty underwire, flies, thunderstorms and cold meat and salad lunches instead?

Spring has already sprung in Pinkyland aka Australia: it starts on 1st September.

Don’t know why your seasons start half-way through a month on the equinox up there? Guess it’s the same as why your school starts half way through the year?

You’re just weird.

So weird.

Aussies aren’t weird. We’re normal.
 
Spring has already sprung.
You make my head hurt! 😂😂😂

I totally agree 💯 with you. 🥰🙂 Thank you kindly for loving ALL these post. I appreciate you very much.💖 🙏
I love this contest. If I win I would love to pick someone that doesn't have a VIP here on forums. Sharing is caring. I love you too @TheLeigh. God loves you so very much. You're beautiful inside and outside. Thank you so much for making this fun contest. Thank you so much for volunteering for many years here on Chat Ave. Blessings to you always and forever. 🙏 😊 🙂💖🙏😊🥰😁 Thank you everybody who participated in this contest.

ALL the best in the world for you each and everyday,
Princessa
 
We have a farm near my house that does some fall activities for fall (Corn mazes, Carving pumpkins, Pie eating contests, Fall games...)

So getting lost trying to figure out the corn maze is fun. The pie eating contest always makes my stomach hurt because there is always this one person who gives everyone food poisoning, or i just eat too much Lmao, but its fun overall. The Fall games are frustrating but im a monster at bean bag toss.

 
For the USA 🙏 😊 🙂 in November folks will get to vote for a President. That's one thing to do in the season of beautiful autumn. That's what I will be doing in November too is voting.
 
You folks can try to win something like win tickets to a concert. I enter a contest in real life from a radio station. I was so happy, but shocked. Which I actually just won two tickets for a concert that is happening in the season of autumn.
Or try to win for something that you like.



You can do some autumn cleaning up your place each day or once a week.


You can donate some of your clothes or whatever you want to donate for a good cause.

You can donate some of your hair for a good cause. I did.

You can go to estate sales, garage sales, and yard sales.

You can buy something for one in line in front of you or back if you in a line at a store or anywhere. I have done that before whenever I was in line at Starbucks.
 
Going on hay bale rides, but for me you always have to wear pants, because it makes you really itchy, well at least for me it does.

The ones I go on are similar to the picture being pulled by the tractor just it has railing or whatever so you don't fall off, but sometimes they go so slow, it gets boring.
 
Autumn gets under your skin.
Sneakier than winter, less glamorous than spring. Deceitful, unlike steady, predictable summer. Your body rebels, gets hungry, dry, tired and old. Bones really can get cold. What a bummer.
 
I enjoy having the experience to meet my new neighbors on halloween. I also enjoy watching classic movies with my fam. (Unrelated but if i win i'm not sure what i'll do lol) Honestly yes sharing is caring and the best thing to do. You never know what someone is going through
 
More Examples and more things to do and learn.

Folks can find new hobby.
Folks can find a new trade.
Folks can look for a new job.
Folks can make you're own clothes, blanket, baskets, door 🚪 wreaths, make your own Halloween costume, read the whole Bible, go to church, go to Bible study, make new friends, make new neighbors, learn a new language, save your money, go on a cruise or go travel somewhere, exercise everyday, go to the lake or pound, meditate, learn how to swim, water aerobics, and go on a bike 🚲 ride. There are so many things to do for free or a cheap price. Try new foods and try new drinks. Buy something for yourself. So much more to do for yourself and others.
 
Folks can be in a movie or on T.V. as a movie or T.V. extra. I have done that many of times in my life. In autumn times as well. Just look it up and find it. That's what I did. It's so much fun too. Lots of laughs and meeting people from ALL over the world. Meeting your favorite T.V. stars and movie stars. Sometimes you don't get paid which it's okay with me. Sometimes you do get paid.

Also going to a Pro Football game NFL in real life and meeting your favorite football players.

Maybe 🤔 getting their autograph and put it in a frame and hanging it on your wall.


Or do some art work drawing or painting and then frame your work that you did. Then put it your walls ar home. Make your house delightful and fun. Make your house organized and not messy. Clean it up if it's messy. Make sure you smile whenever you're done ALL of your hard work. You should give yourself a pat on your back. Tell yourself some positive things about yourself. Look in your mirror and tell yourself you're beautiful. Think only positive thoughts about yourself. Love yourself first. Tell yourself you're smart. Happy thoughts. Do what you love to do. Don't let yourself down on any seasons. It will be okay and it will get better. Keep on keeping on. Never give up on yourself. There is only one of you.
