Favorite Autumnal Things

Hello readers and happy autumn season to you! To celebrate this fall season, I’m sharing some of my favorite things right now. I hope you enjoy!

quirky cowboy boot vase & TBR books
got this card for my mom at Trader Joe’s because we’re always saying this to each other all fall/winter long
black French tips mani with a tiny black heart
I found a new planner at Marshall’s for 2026 and I love the mixed vegetable print – reminds me of soup weather!
our daughter is really into birding right now and we’re all getting into it because of her enthusiasm
I love the autumn sweetness of caramel candies, especially when I get to eat them at Carmel-by-the-Sea
my new smaller-stitches/more-pegs knitting loom which makes tighter stitches than my first looms did
an apple cider scented candle in an adorable ceramic crock with a lid
this book is a collection of 17 monologues/dialogues – it’s quite unique
an obnoxiously delightful bright orange mani with a jack-o’-lantern face
it’s nicer to play Disc Golf in cooler weather
listening to an epic classic on Audible with my family in the evenings – I splurged on this copy with original illustrations by Tolkien
and, of course, pumpkins of all sizes!

    1. We all like different kinds of soups:

      I love potato leek soup and butternut squash soup, my hubs loves pho, my youngest loves ramen, my daughter’s favorite is pottage with carrots and potatoes, my oldest likes chicken and white bean chili.

      What are your family’s favorites?

  1. They all sound delicious! We love beef soup, ramen, seaweed soup, bean sprouts soup, soybean soup, chili. Tomato soup is good too. My husband loves pho too. It seems elaborate to make and time consuming. Do you make it at home?
    Our whole family loves ramen. What kind do you like to eat?

    1. I’ve never made pho at home.
      My husband and sons make the ramen. They add stuff to the packets from the store – I’m not sure which brand they use. Sometimes my husband uses fresh soba or buckwheat noodles from the grocery store. I’ve never had seaweed soup, bean sprouts soup, or soybean soup. My husband and sons love seaweed though. And we all love edamame but I’ve never had it in soup. This gives me some ideas of recipes to look up.

  2. Lovely collection! I love soup. We’re not in Fall weather right now, but I did always like pulling out the fall clothes – sweaters and sweatshirts and lighting candles at home. Enjoy!

      1. I love chicken tortilla soup, and Dan likes chicken noodle. All I need is just a bit of chill in the air, and I’m ready for soup! What’s your favorite kind?

  3. I just love the cooler weather that comes with Fall – especially when it’s cool enough to use the wood-burning stove. Today is the first day of stove use for this year.🙌 Yes, it will be 80° later today, but this morning was in the 40s, so it counts.🤣

  4. You have a great collection of autumn in this post. I have always liked autumn but not the coming cold winter. Now that we are full-time Rvers we can “chase 70 degrees” and keep warm. 🙂 So, that being said, soups are so delicious and homey and I enjoy making (and eating) them. Next week I am making Mo’s Clam Chowder. They are a famous restaurant in the PNW. Have you eaten there? The recipe you added with the link looks yummy and I am adding it to my recipes. Thanks!

    1. When I originally created the post, I did not anticipate the strong positive reaction people had to soup! I thought it was just me! I have not been to Mo‘s, but then again, I don’t eat shellfish so clam chowder is kind of wasted on me. 🤷🏻‍♀️
      At any rate, I’m sure it will be delicious!
      And yes, I agree, when we were full-time RVing, we also chased 70° 😁
