Autumn bucket list



I really enjoy making seasonal bucket lists with my family. In my family, there are five seasons.


Winter: January 1st- March 20th
Spring: March 20th-June 20th
Summer: June 20th-September 20th
Fall: September 20th- Thanksgiving night
Christmas: Thanksgiving night - New Year's Eve

I'm aware and unconcerned that this is not societally accurate.

I think a good bucket list should include at least one thing in each of these categories:

Book
Craft
Movie or show
Nature activity
Outing
Recipe

Autumn Bucket List (to be completed by Thanksgiving night!)

- Bake an autumn treat from our Sweet Indulgence cookbook
- Buy an autumn picture book we used to love and Sweet Home Alaska
- Create a photo collage for over our tea hutch... I'm using only photos of my people with a mug in their hands. ☕️
- Explore a new-to-us town. Walk downtown and admire their autumn decor.
✔️ - Fall foliage hike
- Make pumpkin pasta sauce, probably using this recipe
✔️ - Read books set in autumn and play my autumn book bingo sheet (Spoiler: so far I am hating this. I am in the mood to read deeper fiction right now and paying attention to book bingo is pulling me out of the story... but I'm an obliger and already shared my plan online so quitting feels even worse than perseverance. Im trying to find some historical fiction set in autumn for November) 
✔️- Try maple candy (only ingredient is maple syrup)
- Watch Over the Garden Wall as a family
- Begin working on a Christmas story for my kids (I've written Christmas stories for them in the past but this one is a graphic novel AND a fantasy so I'm going to be very much out of my element!)
