The ABC Necessities to Enjoy the Fall

Fall in the North can be an amazing experience to take in the pretty colors during an outdoor activity, enjoy a warm drink or bake a recipe for a pumpkin spice treat. But before you know it the temperature will drop, the sun will disappear and the fall depicted in movies becomes unrealistic. A northern fall can be a lovely time, however there are a few essentials you need to help you enjoy it as long as you can.

A – Apple Orchard Visit

B – Boots For All Weather

C – Candles 

D – Daily Gratitude Reminders

E – Electric Kettle for Warm Tea

F – Flannels

G – Gloves

H – Hand Lotion to Prevent Dry and Cracked Skin 

I – Ice Scraper

J – Jigsaw Puzzles

K – Kind Friends

L – Leaf Peeping Adventures

M – Movie Nights with Friends

N – Nature Walks

O – Open mind to Try New Things

P – Pumpkin Spice Drinks and Treats

Q – Quiet Time to Rest

R – Raingear

S – Sweaters

T – Toe Warmers

U – Umbrella

V – Vitamin D

W – Wool Socks

Fall can be unpredictable, but don’t let that stop you from getting the most out of the best time of year!
