Autumn rituals - got any?

Autumn rituals - got any? 11 years ago
Aren't these beautiful first weeks of Fall just made for cozy reassuring rituals?
Got any seasonal habits? Maybe recipes you only make in Autumn? Or a particular place you like to visit? Or a perfume you only wear for several weeks every year?

Here's mine:
1. Drink morning coffee by the open window and feel its aroma mix with the first chill of the air - check.
2. Celebrate Harvest Moon, eat copious amounts of Chinese moon cakes - check.
3. Wear Arpege - check.
4. Make the first Masala Chai of the year - check.
5. Buy roast chestnuts from a street vendor.
6. Drink Beaujolais Nouveau.
7. Visit the Annual Embassy Bazaar, spend money on weird stuff.
8. Break out the scarves (all 20+ of them).
9. See the chrysanthemum exhibition.
10. Walk through the bohemian hutongs, take lots of pictures, drink coffee from a paper cup to defrost the fingers.
Still got 7 (oops, 6) to go, so many delights planned! Very Happy

2. Decorate house for fall... finished.

3. Bring out the soup recipes. Yum!

4. Bring out the pie recipes.

5. Store summer clothes and bring out the fall / winter. In process.

6. Plan for oyster roasts.

I pick up a conker (a horse chestnut) every year, and I put it into a decorated gourd I have. I have no idea which one is from which year anymore because they shrink as they dry. I've also had people give them to me after I've picked up my yearly conker, so the count is now skewed.
