Leaves determined to recalibrate their color, local cafes baking apple pies at assembly-line speed, and Ugg-boot donning teenage girls drowning in pumpkin spice, Autumn is just about here! Say hello to brisk weather, cozy Hallmark movies, and 4 hours of NFL-induced stress! With the closing of Labor Day weekend, school will be in session, Jack O' Lanterns will pop up on doorsteps, and pumpkin bread will become a new breakfast staple.
While this season can come and go in as swift a motion as summertime, it's important to soak up Autumn for everything she's worth! With countless joys accompanying this delicious season, we've developed a list of 60 ways to bask in an Autumn to remember!
