• sarah: Pumpkins! Yes, how could I miss that! It’s funny, it’s as cold in NY now as it was in SF in July! 1 year ago

• Alicia Kachmar: Bikerides in the crisp fall air, apple cider donuts at the farmer’s market and the hope that I can impulsively rent a car and drive up north to see the foliage!1 year ago

• EnthusiasticallyHuman: mmmm…

  pumpkins!
  late tomatoes
  chai
  tights with boots
  red leaves1 year ago

• sarah: Alicia, are you and I the same person? That car rental impulse is top of mind for me! Where do you ride your bike? I’m scared of getting hit.

  EH, Tights with boots — hell yeah! And I broke out the red clogs and wool socks today, too. (PS I still don’t want the tomatoes to end.)1 year ago

• Monna: In October, I am giving thanks for:
  Crisp air and red leaves in Segovia, Spain
  Decadent Royal Palaces
  The Backyardigans
  Red scarves
  Zucchini bread
  Keen running shoes
  Late Nights on Air by Elizabeth Hay
  Canadian Thanksgiving (it’s in October!)1 year ago

• geek+nerd: That Obama embroidery is out of this world awesome.

  I just took a cheesemaking class tonight - that makes me very happy 1 year ago

• Avril: Here’s why I LOVE October so much Our birthdays are next week!!! (YYAYY)
  That means a joint birthday celebration that brings practically all our closest friends and family together And then of course from now itself, my mind has already started to make the shift towards Christmas! For me that means 3 whole months of bliss LOL
  I like the break from the monsoon weather and how beautiful the garden looks.
  Its also festival season here in India (Diwali is coming up), so everything will be bright, beautiful and sparkly.
  And this October may be extra special with J and me both going back to full-time work, a lil bit of study, and hopefully a trip!
  I am so grateful for what is!1 year ago

• Christine: In October, I absolutely love:

  Fall foliage
  Long walks in parks
  Crisp evenings/crisp mornings
  Hot apple cider
  Anything pumpkin!
  Outdoor fires
  Snuggling
  Baking again without heating my time space too much!1 year ago

• Alicia Kachmar: Hahaha. I think we ARE the same person. (Also, I wish it had been ME who had written that book, “The Gentle Art of Domesticity.”

  I ride EVERYWHERE. Seriously. All 5 boroughs, everywhere. I love the greenways, the bridges, but I’ll do any “urban” streets. I usually have destinations (museums, shops, restaurants, etc.) in mind.

  I pretty much think about renting a car at least once a week and fleeing! Sometimes I actually do it. “Quixotic” is my favorite word…also recently tattooed on my back. That pretty much sums me up!1 year ago

• Suzy: I love that book! I treated myself to the British edition (available here in Canada months ago) on my birthday back in May. I wish I had written it, too!
  This year, more than ever, I have really been noticing the colours of individual leaves. They are all so, so beautiful–are they more vibrant this year, or am I simply more attuned to them? I’ve been crouching down and picking them up off the ground everywhere I go…like a crazy person (or maybe just a really enthusiastic 5-year-old).1 year ago

• Holly: I love that green plaid bag.

  I’m looking forward to:
  The fall smell
  Football tailgates
  Cuddling under blankets
  Halloween
  Tall boots
  Jackets
  My new cloche hat1 year ago

• sarah: I love reading everyone’s lists! It’s like remembering oodles of other fabulous fall things I hadn’t thought of. Clearly, we need to do more posts like this one. 1 year ago

• Franny: -My birthday is on the 24th!
  -”Just right” walking weather
  -scarves
  -briskly walking with my hands in my pockets

  And now I’ve got this little trip to NYC to look forward to. My cousin is getting married on Sunday and I fly in on Friday! So exciting!

  Can anyone suggest a good restaurant within walking distance of the Broadway Hotel & Hostel? I would be greatly indebted to you…1 year ago

• sarah: I know just what you mean about walking with your hands in your pockets, Franny. Do you know where the hotel is? That might help people recommend a restaurant.1 year ago
