Fall competes with spring for the “favorite season” award in my mind. While I do love the colors and temps of fall, I think I like all the flowers and the “newness” of spring more. But spring does not have as much pie so… it’s really a toss up! (summer also has its merits, like no lunch-packing and family vacay…)
This month Nancy of Bacardi Mama (and faithful OSB linker) and I have paired up to bring you some questions about Fall, in all it’s pumpkin-y, earth tones glory. Copy and paste the questions below and join in for this month’s fun questions!
Extra points if you give me a pie recipe in the comments.*
What is your favorite Halloween candy?
Lately it’s Kit Kats. The little ones. Although, I eat like 5 to 6 at a time so I guess that adds up pretty quick to almost a big one. 🙂 I also like the bite-size dark milky ways. But not as much as Kit Kats. (oh, and 100 Grand). Yum.
P.S. See this list for OTHER things you can hand out at Halloween…
What is one of the worst “treats” you ever received in your candy bag? I recall an apple with a note attached (not even sure how that worked) with something about cleaning my teeth after all that bad candy. LOL.
Nothing to do with apples, just a cute little kid as a skeleton.
What was one of your favorite costumes you wore when you were a kid?
Is it sad that I do not remember my costumes very well? I know I went as a hobo clown one year and wore one of my Dad’s REALLY awful ties form the 70’s. That was fun. And one year I think I went as Barbie with one of those HORRIBLE, thin plastic masks that almost make you not be able to breathe. Fun, not fun, ya know?
I may have been too old to go trick-or-treating…
How about your favorite costume as an adult? Probably when I was a “farm girl” and G was a chicken. I mean, so cute, right? The “freckles” really make the costume, don’t cha think? Ha!
What scares you most on Halloween? Spiders? Zombies? Axe murderers? Eyeballs in a jar… (or something else)?
Anything with a weapon and a scary mask. And blood. ANY of those things in the dark, jumping out at me. So yeah… haunted houses? NOPE.
So then, what is your favorite scary movie??
Huh? People watch those? NOT ME.
(okay, I watched some when I was younger but that was when I did not know better and I certainly DO NOT have a “Favorite”!!!)
Moving on to Turkey Day..
What is you favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal?
The sweet potatoes. And pie. Okay fine, the rolls and stuffing and gravy too. 🙂
What is your favorite piece of clothing or accessory to wear in the Fall?
I love scarves. And boots. I have to choose? This is hard.
What is your favorite pie? If you do not like pie I will forgive you but then what is your favorite Fall dessert?
Pecan pie. With LOTS of whipped cream (REAL whipped cream).
Do you live where there are four seasons? If so, where is your favorite place to see the fall colors?
Nope. I mean, we do get some fall colors here. Starting about now. But really there are only two seasons here, Hot and Humid and Dryish and Cool. I wish I could head up to Vermont and see the fall colors there someday!
What is your favorite fall tradition? Taking the kids to the “pumpkin patch” and decorating outside.
Two years ago…
This year.
Is there anything else special about the Fall to you?
Just the family part. I love getting together with our family at Thanksgiving. And the cooler temperatures put a certain someone in my life in a better mood (he hates the heat and humidity) so that’s always a plus.
Now it’s your turn to answer and link up! Don’t forget to check out some of the other linkers (if not all) and see what they have to say about Fall. Tweet with us too, using the hashtag #OSBlog and tag me (@elainea) and Nancy (@bacrdimama)

That chicken is the cutest!!!!
Oh my gosh that is the CUTEST costume- farm girl with the chicken! Adorable!
I love those kit kats too… several at a time.
And oh, I won’t watch a scary movie EVER.
Love scarves and boots too- you look gorgeous in that picture!!
So much fun reading this, and realizing how much we have in common Elaine!

Love the farm-girl and chicken costumes! So clever!
I’m going to post your questions next week. Thanks for the “blog prompt.” Sometimes OSB is just what is called for, right?

Oh yay! I love linking up.
I’m with you – it’s a toss-up with spring, but I really, really love the newness and the flowers and the NOT leading to winter. On the other hand, fall is great for my business. And.. pie!
I like Kit Kats a lot too lately. I never did as a kid, though.

Can’t wait to join OSB this month!
I’m really into fall this year. Like, really into it. It may have something to do with the Butterfingers I’m eating by the case.

I was torn between hoodies and scarves for my post, but went with hoodies. I’m all about the comfy, cozy part of fall.

Love fall and pagan pie!!!

Sweet potatoes, check.
Pecan pie, check.
Barbie mask in which you can’t breathe? Check. (Sadly.)
I love fall for all the reasons you mention.
And for that adorable farmer w/ chicken costume.

I don’t remember my costumes very well either. I know that I wore lots of old dance recital costumes. I am also a sucker for boots and scarves. I’m a casual dresser so anything that can make me looked dressed up is a good thing.

I can’t really remember many of my childhood costumes either! Though I definitely remember those plastic masks. We could never get away with that these days, could we? And real whipped cream is so much better than the fake stuff!
Leslie recently posted…Remembering the Fun in Fall
What”’s not to like about Thanksgiving dinner? I am not too picky. 🙂 Halloween is still pretty special to me – it was never celebrated in Germany. The first time I went trick or treating I was a senior in high school – it was also the last time until I had kids. 😉

Yay for OSB! I do love fall and spring but those seasons seems to have gotten shorter and shorter! I love your fall outfit and your farmer and chicken costume! So cute. Off to go write mine!
Christine @ Love, Life, Surf recently posted…Are You Ready to Make Your Move?
Awesome farmer costume! The chicken part is the cutest, though!! I can’t wait to finish my costume and show it off this year!! It’s pretty epic, if I do say so myself. I’ll be linking up tomorrow, so sit on the edge of your seat until then!! LOL

I love your fall boots and that farmer contest is just the cutest.

I’m late to the party, but this was a fun one! I love your boots/scarf outfit, and the Halloween costumes are adorable. Have a great weekend!

What a fun old school blogging! If I wasn’t such an absentee blogger lately I’d join in. 😉
I love all the pics. You have such a beautiful family!
