Favorite: normally our weather. Upper 70s and sunny. It makes it great to spend time outside hiking, checking out the fall colors, and is the best time to chill at the beach because it is normally sunny and not windy.
Least favorite: pumpkin spice everything (I don't like pumpkin) and football. I swear the town goes crazy over football.
Favorite: Really only early fall, but the weather is beautiful. Soccer is my favorite sport- more interesting and better weather to watch the kids play. Baseball in the spring is still chilly here.
Least favorite: Late fall weather can get nasty like 30's and snow/ drizzle. The darkness! It's already dark at 7 now and it's only going to get worse, and then we will fall back also with the time change.

Favorite: usually that my garden is producing well followed by it finally effing freezes so I can stop dealing with the garden! This year my garden sucked though. I also like that it’s sleeping with the windows open weather for a good portion of it. I sleep so much better when it’s cool and it’s not AC cool, but natural cool.
Least: darkness. It gets light too late and gets dark again too early. I need sunshine for optimal happiness.
Favorite: The leaves! I was pleasantly surprised by the fall foilage in our new neighborhood last year. Best. Thing.Ever.
Least: Halloween decorations. My kids are obsessed, but I just don't like them. I'd rather put the Christmas lights up early. Luckily, we live next to J. DD thinks that our neighbor J is the coolest grandma ever. Everything at her house is always perfect, elegant, and perfectly timed. So the fall decorations don't go up until J puts her us. And the come down a day or two after J's come down.

Favorite: Eventually it stops being a million degrees outside. Then I get to live in my Uggs on weekends and wear tights to work with boots. I love fall clothes.
Least favorite: I tend to have to travel a lot this time of year which means I miss fun stuff.
k3am, DH built me this giant flower planter that looks like a train (engine with two cars). I have a string of lights that go around it that are plugged into a timer. I switch the bulbs to orange for Halloween and call that as my decorating (I also switch to pink for Valentines). DD wants me to do more but it is just so much work. Will see how I feel if it happens this year or not.

Favorite - things start getting into a nice routine. School, soccer, etc. my busiest time of year ends mid October and things kind of slow down into the holidays. I also like chillier nights and hot days.
Least. I also hate pumpkin everything and that it gets dark so early!!

Favorite - The weather is reasonably cool with lots of sun and less rain then spring. Apple picking - I love apple picking with my family and making all the apple food I can afterwards.
Least Favorite - Fall means winter is coming and winter means snow.
