 Reread a classic. Cozy up with a classic book. A few of
the most anticipated upcoming feature films are adaptations of
classic novels. Take some time away from your busy schedule to
revisit some of these books before they hit the big screen.
Throw a few logs into the fireplace, put on your warmest sweater
and relax with a good story, whether you're reading it for the first
or 20th time.
Take a walk. There's no better way to take in the sights,
smells and sounds of fall than being surrounded by the season. Enjoy
the vibrant colors of leaves changing, the familiar smell of smoky
bonfires and children jumping into massive leaf piles.
It is the perfect time for long walks because temperatures aren't
overbearingly hot and the humidity levels are much more tolerable.
Dress appropriately for the cooler weather and see what fun you can
have outside.
Help others. Fall is an excellent time to direct your
energies and donations toward nonprofit organizations. For example,
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and you can participate in
a fundraiser for any breast cancer organization or donate funds
during this special month.
Old London is helping to find a cure by donating 75 cents to breast
cancer research for each proof of purchase from any of its products
received through Feb. 6, 2013. Enter the UPC at
oldlondonfoods.com.
Harvest fall fun. Visit a local apple orchard or pumpkin
patch. Apple trees are heavily laden with crisp and delicious apples
this time of year. Head out to an orchard to pluck the perfectly
grown fruits off trees bearing your favorite variety of apples.
Or take children on a ride at a pumpkin farm. Let them run
through the patch, inspecting every pumpkin for their perfect
carving creation.
Feed your autumnal appetite. All of fall's exciting
activities will leave members of your family feeling voracious.
Warm them up -- and create a delicious smell in your house -- with
a bowl of homemade soup.
This simple recipe for Chicken Soup and Crackers is destined to
become a fall staple.
