Framed painting: $300.00 starting bid + S&H

Yesterday I came across a list of things that exemplify autumn. things like sweaters, falling leaves, crisp apples, and pumpkins. The only thing I felt was absent from the list were the flowers that also bloom prolifically in the fall.

To me, all the russet tones marigolds are an important part of autumn, as are the dense bushes of mums and asters.

So I think my list for fall would look something like this:

sweaters

walks in the woods

the fireplace

falling leaves

crisp dry air

pumpkins

crisp apples

scarves

hot stews and soups

roasted root vegetables

and

mums & marigolds

...what would you add to your list?
