Sunday Stealing

1. Are there any fall-specific hobbies or crafts you enjoy pursuing?

A. Not really, although I do seem to take more pictures in the fall. So perhaps photography?

2. Do you have any favorite fall-inspired recipes you like to cook or bake?

A. No. I am not a pumpkin fan.

3. Are you a fan of Halloween? If so, what's been your favorite costume?

A. I love Halloween. I haven't been in a costume in many years, though. The last time I dressed up, I was a witch. I went to Fincastle, where they have (had?) a children's Halloween parade and stood on the corner and handed out candy. That is the only time as an adult that I have dressed up. In my youth, I remember those awful plastic masks that generally broke after the first house, and it always seemed to be cold. I also dressed as a hobo a few times.

4. Do you have any childhood memories related to the autumn season?

A. Just going to school. I loved school, loved being in school, loved buying notebooks and pencils. I loved my teachers, usually. School was a safe place, aside from bullies and idiots.

5. What kind of outdoor activities do you enjoy during the autumn months?

A. Walking is nice.

6. Do you look forward to 'sweata weatha'? What is your favorite go-to outfit for Fall?

A. I don't have a favorite outfit for any season.

7. Are you a fan of pumpkin or apple flavored treats or beverages?

A. Not particularly. I like apple cider ok, but no one else does.

8. Which fall scents do you find most appealing?

A. None of them. They all make me sneeze.

9. Do you like to visit apple orchards or pumpkin patches or corn mazes?

A. No. I'm allergic to such places.

10. Have you ever participated in or attended a fall festival or harvest fair?

A. Fincastle has a festival every September (it had a 10-year hiatus in the 2000s). I used to help with the volunteer fire department at that, and then I was president of the organization that ran it for two years, so I helped with lots of parts of it then.

11. What's your favorite thing about autumn?

A. The colorful leaves.

12. Are you more of a cider or hot chocolate person when it comes to fall beverages?

A. I just drink water these days, so neither.

13. What's your ideal way to spend a crisp autumn evening?

A. Curled up in a chair with a book. That's pretty much my ideal way of spending most evenings.

14. Do you like to dress up for Halloween? What's your favorite costume or what costume do you plan for this year? Do you like to make your own costume?

A. I don't dress up for Halloween.

15. Are you a football fan? What's your favorite team?

A. I don't watch football, though we do root for the Virginia Cavaliers (University of Virginia).
