I would usually say that what I love about autumn is being able to open all my windows and let the fresh air in without turning my house into a sauna. But, it's been Autumn for nearly a month and my AC is still on because it's been mostly running in the 80's. My favorite times of year are the 'in-betweens' . . .when it's cool but not cold, warm but not hot - when cooking all day is enough to warm the house and opening the windows is enough to cool it.

Running and jumping hand in hand with someone special thru piles of leaves

Everything. It's my favorite season.

The cool crisp air, the leaves and acorns falling on the ground, the pecan trees tossing their pecans to the ground, pumpkins in the stores, the large variety of apples in the stores, the big bins full of different types of nuts in the stores.

Lovely! Deborah

Autumn
 

Winter food, yum.

Not time yet in Texas but soon.

I love this picture. Autumn.. lovely autumn. Some of the reasons to love that season.

There's a much better chance to find sweet potatoes (not yams, although I eat them too) at the grocery store.

And these are full of bet carotene, which is a precurser of vitamin A.
Vitamin A is great for giving strength to the immune system, good vision and eye health.
When the weather starts to get cooler, possible illnesses could arise? Nature provides.

Deborah

Yes, absolutely. I love sweet potatoes and they are healthy. Even more key they are a healthy carb. When I am eating healthy I focus on healthy carbs, not low carbs (more of a weightlifter's type diet - which I also do lift weights when I am being healthy). My two main stalwarts for healthy carbs are sweet potatoes and quinoa. Now I just have to make the time to do real grocery shopping, since the closest grocery store is a half hour away - which isn't super far but it's over an hour of total driving plus the shopping so I tend to not do it as often as I should.

So true what you say about nature providing at just the right time of year.

Other yummy autumnal foods that I love are homemade soups and stews. It is well beyond my (practically nonexistent) cooking abilities but I do love to eat them, especially in fall.

There's a way to easily make yummy stews with a crockpot.

Place in a crockpot sliced beef, carrots, onions, celery and seasonings before leaving for work.

When you arrive home, dinner will be ready. Tender beef slow simmered with veggies.
Trust me it's yummy, I've done it. You could quickly make a salad or real nice for the cold weather.
Of course you can do the same with chicken, etc.

Deborah

Ummm what is this Autumn you speak of?

LOL
