Apple picking, chocolate by the fire, pumpkin bread, cosy sweaters, leaf peeping, hay rides, the pumpkin patch and more on my fall bucket list!

The days are getting shorter, mornings are cooler, the leaves are starting to fall and there are pumpkins and mums doting porches, and planters. I woke this morning for my walk, and there is a nip in the air. My mind was on a cup of chocolate upon my return and the basket of apples I recently picked up at the farm stand. I cannot wait to make apple cranberry crisp and chutney to give away at the holidays. Today I am sharing 25 Fall bucket list ideas, just in case you want to add them to your bucket list and enjoy Fall to the fullest.
