Well it's no secret Florida really doesn't experience a true Fall. The weather is still in the 80's so definitely don't need the cute scarfs or boots and the leaves don't change to those beautiful red and orange colors like the photo above. However, the weather does become slightly more comfortable compared to the blazing hot summer and there are several other things I enjoy around this time of year that remind me it is in fact Fall.
#1: Epcot's Food & Wine Festival. I can't wait to go next weekend and sample all the food and wine from different countries.
#2: Bath & Body Works 3-Wick Fall Scented Candles. I just put in my order over the weekend for some new pumpkin scented candles so my house can smell like Fall.
#3: Pumpkin beer. Since they hit the shelves a few weeks ago, I've been trying a new pumpkin beer every weekend with K. Call me crazy but I even have a whole post about this coming soon.
#4: Pumpkin carving. Or I should really say pumpkin pattern designing and then someone else does the carving. (K made that meme last year as a joke.) And do you see that patch of lawn to the right of him? We had a pumpkin plant start growing out of control there until from him throwing the seeds out until we finally decided to remove it a few months ago.
#5: Potlucks at work and Thanksgiving out of town with family. This was Thanksgiving last year when Lola had just joined our family and was a tiny puppy.
Okay I'm a little late to the party but I'm joining Pinky and Katie for their Falling for Fall linkup.
Woohoo, fall!!! I know you Floridians don't really get much fall, but just remember all us northern fall people are wishing for your winter weather :)!
ReplyDeleteI need that cupcake candle and love the pumpkin carving meme! Thanks so much for linking up with us!
The food and wine festival sounds awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh I want to go to that food and wine festival so bad! You're going to have such a good time and I hope there's lots of pumpkin beer, I love it! I have been burning my bath and body three wicks and my house is been smelling amazing!! This is such a cute post for a southern states girl! I love it great ideas here lovely, happy Thursday!
ReplyDeleteI'm debating on going to food and wine this year. I've never been but I really want to go! And that pumpkin meme is too funny! I want to do the glitter pumpkins this year! Now if our weather would just cool off... lol!

We're in the same boat here in Houston, we don't see the leaves change but we're just happy for the cooler weather! You definitely should go to the Food & Wine Festival at Disney! I've heard such great things about it and have been dying to go!
ReplyDeleteThe wine and food festival will be such fun! Can't wait to get my hands on a pumpkin to carve too!

We went to the Epcot festival two years ago, and I LOVED it!! I totally want to go back. I definitely will be busting out my fall candles this weekend :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for your pumpkin beer post because I've actually never had one!! So crazy! And I'm also bummed because we were supposed to be in Orlando next weekend for my cousins 30th bday at F&WF but we had to cancel due to my husbands work schedule :( :( We could have totally met up!!!
ReplyDeleteYay fall!!!! The food and wine festival sounds awesome!!! We have a pumpkin beer tasting and a cider tasting coming up soon at a local store so I plan on hitting up both after work!!! Can't wait to read your post! I feel like I have tasted a lot of them there were out last year but new ones will pop up I am sure!
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious that pumpkins started to grow. Poor guy had to do all the carving. I would much rather glitter it up!
ReplyDeleteAwwww I remember Lola's first Thanksgiving - adorable! Have an amazing time at the Food & Wine Festival - so many favorites to try! And yummmm to pumpkin beer, I love them all <3

I really want to go to the Food and Wine Festival. It sounds amazing. Too funny that you accidentally started growing pumpkins.
ReplyDeleteFood and wine festival!? I might be a little jealous :)
ReplyDeleteThat Food & Wine festival sounds great! Hey, you may be missing out on some fall right now, but as of January we will all be jealous of your climate! Your meme about making jack-o-lanterns totally cracked me up!

I would love to see Disney in the fall, and the Food and Wine Festival sounds fun!!! I picked up the Pumpkin Cheesecake candle earlier this month for only $4 (had some coupons) as well a free mini candle in Vanilla Pumpkin (or some similarly named scent). That meme is too funny!
