Before the winter hits, it’s always fun to get out and enjoy the weather while you can. Fall is a great time to do that (minus the devil wasps). So if you’re looking for something to do before hibernation season, here are some ideas.

Outdoor

1. Apple picking
2. Decorate your porch with some fall decor
3. Hit up the local farmers market
4. Go fishing
5. Attend a football game
