Orange, you are going to love fall? Learn why fall is my favorite time of the year.
It’s Sustainable Spotlight time again. The agreed-upon theme for the October post is the color orange, which represents fall.
For the newly created focus, instead of focusing on a sustainable item, I plan to share a family tradition from my childhood that explains why I relish fall.
The tradition involves the color orange. I recall my family driving from Philly to Ott’s in Schwenksville for mums and pumpkins yearly. That family legacy expanded but continued with my children. A great adventure at Ashcombe Farms for a horse-drawn hayride, lunch, and mums and pumpkins.
Orange is the color associated with fall, not just for the pumpkins. But the seasonal changes of the leaves on the trees to orange, yellow, red, rust, and brown.
It is an incredible time of the year to see nature unfold before our eyes. Brilliant colors, then the shedding of the leaves, go dormant until spring’s rebirth.
Fall is more than just orange; it brings back childhood memories of the harvest shared from my maternal grandmother’s garden—the cooler, crisp temperatures for fall homecoming celebrations and the soon joyous Thanksgiving.
To commit to sustainable living, I don’t contribute to decorating waste by purchasing disposable items. I stick to organic choices like pumpkins and usually mums.
