i honestly just like the way everything feels more calm. the air just smells so much fresher especially after all the leaves fall off the trees and sometimes you get those nice foggy days where you can just sit at home and get under a blanket and watch a movie or a tv show or play a video game or whatever else you feel like and have a nice warm meal or even just order a pizza. its just all so nice.
 
It's been chilly and rainy all week here and I love it. I put fresh fleece and flannel blankets on my bed, crack the window a little, let my dog curl up with me, and it is almost impossible to get up now because it's so fucking comfy. I think this is one of life's nicest pleasures.

I picked some mushrooms in the forest today and will make a nice pizza fungi from scratch this evening 🤤

What kind of mushrooms did you get? I've been finding a bunch of chicken of the woods and birch boletes and oysters, but my husband came back with a ton of black trumpets yesterday and I'm so excited because I love them and I am so bad at finding them.

I'm drying a bunch of my finds out because I like to use dried mushrooms to make the broth for ukrainian style borscht. In the fall and winter I basically just have a never ending borscht pot I keep adding to. It's one of my favorite fall things, although I end up getting a little sick of beets by the end of winter.

I mentioned this on the Halloween activities thread, but I made some papier mache pumpkins and today I'm just chilling in my craft room listening to podcasts and drinking tea and painting pumpkins.
 
It kills me that I cannot go up north and enjoy Autumn like I did in Michigan. I just love nature and will sometimes walk or drive through places like M-22 or Harbor Springs, MI and sometimes camp in the Upper Peninsula. And there are a ton of beautiful spots.

One thing I...I dunno, discovered (I don't know the name of it Censory Overload)? Was driving slowly along these scenic routes, leaning my seat back to look at the leaves as I drive by and getting some sort of high or hypnosis.

EDIT: and listening to classical or Serene music as I do it, like Vivaldi or some LOTR shit.

Woah, I'm jalous! I never found fresh chicken of the woods. I saw one today, but it was too old to eat.
Yesterday I found a big yellow boletus (about 750gr) for the pizza and some red-footed boletus which I tried overnight. They'll probably end up in a risotto :)
 
Cardigans and my green trench coat you wouldn’t be able to pull out of my cold dead hands
 
I just re-upped on sweaters and tights and made my first pot of beef stew of the year.
I am in walking distance of Lake Michigan, and one of my favorite fall things to do is bundle up and go down to the beach at sundown. No one is around and the lake doesn't smell like dead fish (which is does in the summer). My husband and I just stand on one of the piers and look out at the black and stars. Its just tremendously calm and quiet once beachgoers fuck off.

We're not quite there yet, but once Late Afternoon Sundowns start happening, its on. As a consummate Sweat and Bugs Hater, fall is the only time I really enjoy nature.

https://youtu.be/M11SvDtPBhA someone once told me these were Cardigans, though I think it too skinny for Autumn weather.

I long for the days to buy a Summer home in MI and cook my favorite Gumbo to fill the bones with fat and warmth. Know that you are indeed envied. Oh and find some of the dark Morrels and make a risotto I spoke of, above.

Edit: fixed hyperlinks and made recommendations.

Denim jacket and hoodie weather, tights with knee highs weather, leather weather. Halloween decorating. Going to the fair and getting an apple cider donut. Wearing a warm robe on a cool morning and drinking coffee. Apple picking. Fall baking. Chicken soup. Mums, coleus, and celosia plants.

Just the best time of the year, hands down. And makes the impending winter almost worth it.
 
I've got a heavy faux fur blanket I swear by. Spiced cider or spiced Chai, and the burning smell of turning on the heater for the first time of the season.
