fall things I want to do

 


Happy Tuesday, friends! I thought I'd talk about some things I want to do before this magical season is over; before we know it, it'll be December and we'll be saying goodbye to this year. Today was day #294 in my Bible reading plan, if that tells you anything. Without further ado, I'll jump in.



  • have and/or attend a bonfire and roast marshmallows
  • read the cozy mystery book I picked for book club
  • plan something for my birthday
  • bake more treats for the people I love
  • take a sunset stroll
  • use the back patio more
  • have more family dinner nights
  • serve others on a regular basis and try to talk my sons into coming with me
  • go for a sunset drive
  • make something savory with pumpkin
  • find a winter wine that I enjoy as much as I loved the one my friend brought Saturday night
  • do more fun and new things
  • spend time with my friend with a Jacuzzi night on her back patio before she moves

What things do you want to do this fall season? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading my blog today, friends. Love to all! 


Jenn 🖤

  1. I need a wine rec.! What was it? I bought 3 red wines at Trader Joe's to see what I would like. I prefer white now so reds are my new thing I am trying to like.
    This is a great list!

    1. It was so good, and from a winery in Oregon, where my friend used to live. It's by Sarver, and was a pinot noir rose. I'd imagine you can find those anywhere, so start with that and see what you can find. It was fruity with a hint of sweetness, but not too sweet, you know? Thanks, friend!

    2. Pinot Noir Rose! That sounds amazing!

  2. Baking treats sounds fun :). Though if I bake something, I will likely pass on baking with pumpkin. I don´t dislike it at all but is not something that I crave either.

    1. I love to bake! I'm not a huge pumpkin fan, but I really like it in these muffins right now. They are delicious!

  4. You've reminded me that there is still so much to enjoy about this season! This past weekend when we were at the lake, we roasted hot dogs and brats over our fire pit. There's nothing that tastes better on an autumn day! Happy Tuesday, Jennifer!

  9. You have a great list. I made a fall list around my birthday (mid-September) and have done about half of what's there. I revisited the list today and it reminded me of a couple of projects here I want to get done. Happy fall! It's my favorite!

  11. So many good ideas - but serve others regularly. I really like that! It has me thinking. What can I do to serve someone this week? Tomorrow? Happy Tuesday to you!
