My Perfect Fall Day

When the leaves start to change to warm red and orange, and as the air smells of pumpkin spice with hints of apple cider, is it the best time to do anything? From carving pumpkins to curling up in a blanket reading a book, fall has the best weather for any seasonal activity.
My perfect fall day starts at six thirty and ends at nine with fun things to fill the time. The first thing in the morning, I drink an iced caramel latte and eat a bagel with cinnamon brown sugar cream cheese. Then, I get changed into a cute, cozy fall outfit: a cream colored sweater and light wash jeans with Uggs. After I get changed, I do my hair in my usual half up, half down hairstyle. To finish the look, some mascara and lip gloss. Ready to have the best day ever.
Going to pick up my friends to accompany me on my fall day, Eden, Kymora, Gabby, and I are all on our way to pick pumpkins to carve later in the day. When we arrive at the patch, we make our way to the apple cider stand and hayride. We pick pumpkins and leave to go back to my house to carve them. On the way home, we stop to take pictures with all the fall colored leaves in the sunset sky.
Back at my house we carve pumpkins while watching "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown." For dinner, we have cowboy soup with biscuits and for dessert, pumpkin cookies. After everyone makes their way home, I unwind to fall jazz music in the tub while reading a murder documentary. The perfect fall day comes to an end, but there are many more to come.
