Our sort of Autumn Bucket List

I did enjoy our summer bucket list but have decided to be less prescriptive for Autumn, so it is more a list of things that highlight Autumn to me and some of the celebrations that will happen during the period.  Autumn may not officially start until later this month but there are already signs of the tree colours changing, the weather cooling, the geese on the move....

I had great fun looking through some of the special days that are happening in September, October and November. (About.com, hallmark channel are two of the sites I looked at).  Many of them  are USA based and I am not sure exactly how many people recognise them.  I selected ones that I thought we would enjoy doing some form of activity to mark the day if we had time - I didn't spread the days out well but there are plenty things happening most days if we are stuck for inspiration at other times.

Some of the other items on the list are very vague so we can just find what works with us all and where Luath's interest lies. 

Our list - I have missed out the word "day"  in items like Apple Day, Teddy Bear Day, as it was getting very busy
