ReplyDeleteI would love to be entered into your giveaway.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about fall is the beautiful colors of the leaves, the crisp air, and the way it makes everything feel cozy on the inside!

I love watching the leaves fall and seeing the colors. It makes me thankful for the ability to see.

Oh, I would enjoy reading that book. I like the clear, crisp air in the fall, pumpkin bread and homemade soup!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of fall is the food: anything pumpkin or apple, marshmallow roasts, hot chocolate or cider....

My favorite thing about fall is the colors. The turning leaves are so beautiful. Course I also love the smells and cool crisp air...but the colors are my favorite. :)
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite things baout fall is the weather is cool enough to enjoy hot chocolate!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about fall is the spirit of Thanksgiving that comes along with it. Of course I love the colors and the smells and brisk air coming in after a hot summer but I especially love how people get more friendly this time of year. With Thanksgiving and them moving towards Christmas, it restores hope in the humanrace. People seem to care more and to have more charity in their hearts.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about fall is the view from my window.

Looks like a beautiful book. Thanks for thinking of us.
ReplyDeleteWhat I love about fall are the days when it's sunny and the leaves are changing. The grass is dried up, but it smells sweet. Everything is sharp and clear and the sun is so warm that I can feel the heat pressing on my arms.
My favorite thing about fall is reading out loud to my family. When it gets dark earlier, we seem to find time to read Laura Ingalls Wilder, Greek myths, Robert Louis Stevenson poetry, and animal tales by James Herriot. We do it all winter long, until the sun keeps us outside late again.

I love your give away!
ReplyDeletePersonally, fall makes me think of family so that's my favorite part about it. I have great memories of big family fall dinners and taking nature walks afterwords.
Thank you for the Amish book opportunity.
ReplyDeleteI was just looking thru an Amish cookbook seeking some inspiration for tonight's chicken. :)
Fall left us yesterday, we are in a winter storm here in Minnesota.
My favorite thing about Fall....the color palate...it is my very favorite season (although the shortest one here in MN).
Keep warm!
I actually have this book and it was a wonderful read.I just felt like I wanted to say what I love most about fall. I love warm flannel nightgowns with socks on my feet. I love sitting by the fire also with a good book and a cup of hot chocolate. I love homemade soups and warm cornbread. Most of all I love this time of year cause it is when my family gets together the most.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about Fall is to open up the windows and let the fresh air in.
ReplyDeleteThank you for a chance to win this book.

I would love that book...I am fascinated by the Amish. My favorite thing about fall is the colors..and now for the second year in a row some quilting friends and I are going on a retreat in Lancaster PA...Amish country...it is so beautiful in the fall
ReplyDeleteI can't think of anything I DON'T like about the fall. For me, it marks the beginning of the end of another year. When fall gets here we all enjoy the changing of leaves, our wardrobe, pumpkin patches, fall festivals, etc. We know Thanksgiving is coming. A time for family and making memories. Fall was my daddy's favorite season too.

I love the gentler-than-summer weather and the colorful leaves. I enjoy too of cider and other harvesty things. All in all, fall is pretty unbeatable.
ReplyDeleteI like the color changes in the trees and sitting in the living room with the wood stove going.
ReplyDelete~Cheryl
I would love to cozy up with this book next to a warm fire and a mug of hot cider!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many things I love about fall, the brisk air, bustling birds and squirrels and the gorgeous fall colors on the trees. But I especially love that it is my sweet hubby's favorite time of year. He loves to go hunting and be out in the woods and mountains!
I would love to have a chance in your giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMMMM! One of the best things about fall is it's time for a big pot of homemade chili, got one in the crockpot right now. It just tastes so much better in the fall. I love the changing leaves also and the brisk air. Makes me want to get out and walk!
until next time... nel
I love fall family activities. Pumpkin patches, corn mazes, long walks after dinner in the crisp air, playing in the leaves. Ahh, fall doesn't last nearly long enough.

I would love to be entered in your giveaway. I just found out about your blog today, i download Amish Wisdom podcasts from itunes. While driving to school today i heard your interview with Susan Fisher, she is right you should pen a book.. Just wondering if you read Amish fiction and if you do who your favourite author is ? I seem to be spending all of my free time either reading amish books, listening to amish audiobooks or podcasts. I love all things amish what can i say .
ReplyDeleteAs for what my favourite things are about fall they are as follows; walking in the woods enjoying nature, colours , apple pie, burning scented oil in my home pumpkin spice, cinamon, moms country kitchen, like seeing stacked wood ready for the weather ahead (sense of accompishment)
This book sounds so good, would love to read it. I love the clear crisp days, harvesting the last of the garden, and the smell of the leaves. Fall is my favorite season.m
ReplyDeleteBeing from ohio my favorite thing is when it become sweatshirt weather but it is still warm enough to go run around and have some fun.
ReplyDeletecoffeeorteawithme@gmail.com
The things that I enjoy most about fall revolve around food...I find fall foods so comforting...soups, stews, fresh pies, breads,...

My favorite thing about Fall is EVERYTHING! This is my most favorite time of the year. I love the colorful changes our Lord has made with the trees! I love the cool crisp air! I love pumkins and pumkin pie! I love corn mazes and scarcrows! I love Thanksgiving Holiday and the joy of family brought together! I just LOVE it all! :o)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a very interesting book. I'm not sure if your giveaway is open to people outside of America so if it isn't please feel free to pass over my comment :) Here in New Zealand we call fall Autumn. I like the chill that creeps into the air. It is always a welcome relief from the hot days of summer.
ReplyDeleteHmmm .. only one favorite thing about fall? Well, I guess it would have to be the leaves. Beautiful ones on the trees and crunchy ones on the ground (that I have to scuff through every year.) I also love to choose exceptionally pretty ones and dip them in parafin wax to use for decorations.
ReplyDeleteYou can contact me if I win via my blog. Thanks!
Favorite things - Crisp mornings; dew sparkling in the morning light; leaves crunching under foot; color everywhere from colorful leaves, hillsides turning green, breathtaking sunrises and sunsets; misty fog rising off the ponds; curling up with a hot cup of strong coffee while reading a good book; covering up with a quilt and watching the fire. I love the fall. Fall is a time of remembering; being thankful; taking it slow. Winter will soon be here with another kind of stark beauty. It's all been wonderfully created by God, the creator of everything, including you and me. We have much to be thankful for.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about fall: The smell. Perhaps it's just the decaying leaves, but there's something distinct in the air this time of year.
ReplyDeleteI think that my favorite thing about Fall is the smells. They are different this time of year. The leaves falling form the trees have a earthy different smell. This is when everyone is burning wood in their fireplaces and I love that smell as well.

Living in an Amish community, among my favorite sights are the farmers with their teams of horses harvesting the crops.

ReplyDeleteI, too, posted a link to your blog from my blog. :)
ReplyDeleteI would so like to enter your giveaway and read that fascinating book. I will be putting a link on my blog also.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite thing about Fall/Autumn...it's the feeling that the cosy nights are here, the light goes early, there is an excuse to have a fire on, and we can just enjoy the journey into winter.
I shared your giveaway on my sidebar! :~D
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful gift. My favorite thing about fall is the smells. The air smells different, food smells better, everything take on a "different" feel and smell to me. My husband thinks I'm kind of strange because smells are a trigger for me. I even like the way our cow's breath smells. And just so you know, it smells sweet.
ReplyDeleteI so much enjoy your blog.

I love the cool crisp air. It energizes you and makes you want to do things that it wasw too hot to do all summer.
ReplyDeleteFall, this season reminds me of how before we are in Christ we are all full of ourselves and when we come to Christ everything dies and falls away and sometimes we need to take a season of deep sleep (spiritual) (winter) to arise in the fullness of Christ as we are being made new (Spring). I heard something like this in a song once and it just attuned with my spirit. I heard about "Amish Peace" and knew I needed to read it. Thank you for this opportunity. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteI love the crisp, cool air and the trees leaves turning bright colors. I love fresh made applesauce & apple butter as well.
ReplyDeletemim170442yahoo.com
My favorite thing about Fall is baking apple pies, pumpkin bread and just spending quality time with my family in the comfort of a warm and cozy home. I turn my attention to all that I am thankful for and to God for the beautiful colors on the tress that I see from my kitchen window each morning.
ReplyDeletewww.beth-itiswhatitis.blogspot.com
One of my favorite things about the fall is the smells of baking, or is it the changing vibrant colors, or the snuggling under a quilt with my hot drink reading a good book....not sure which it is...but I know I love them all. Fall is my favorite time of the year. It's the time of year I get in the deep nesting mode. :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to read this book.
BTW,I enjoyed your interview with Suzanne several months ago.

I'd love to read this book. My favourite thing about fall is the vivid reminder of God's faithfulness as we see the ripe fruit hanging in the orchards, and the leaves turning glorious colours - every year so beautiful, and He never lets us down. Blessings x
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a wonderful book!
ReplyDeleteThe best thing about fall is taking a family picture amongst all the colorful leaves! It's time for all the warm things again - potato soup, brown beans, and hot chocolate - and it means Christmas is getting closer!
My allergies really don't like fall, though!

I think the beautiful colors, but also just the change from the heat of summer. I love seasons and enjoy something about all of them, but am usually ready for the next one to come :)
ReplyDeletesteffanie771 at hotmail dot com
Growing up in Minnesota, my favorite part of fall was the smell in the air. I've been away for 20 years and I miss that.
ReplyDeleteI would love to read the book, as I've often wished I could be Amish!

Good Evening Sweet Friend...
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I would love to have this book to read. I thank you for the wonderful opportunity. Any one of us will be so lucky.
Fall and what I love most. That is easy, I love the change in colors, and that nature goes to sleep for just a little while. I love that the air becomes crisp, and I absolutely love crawling into the sheets at night, and feeling the coolness against my skin. That is what I love most about Fall. And those memories for me come from over 25 years ago, because living in the desert in Phoenix, we don't really have Fall. We are still having hot, hotter and even hotter still days. I miss Oklahoma in the Fall.
Thank you so much for asking sweetie. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
Well, right now my favorite thing is the spiders that build amazing webs in my garden. The webs shimmer in the sunlight and sway with the breezes.

ReplyDeleteI would love this book, My favourite thing about the fall is the promise of the darker nights to come with a fire in the stove and sone hand quilting on my knee.
ReplyDeleteI will mention your give away on my blog - silver sewer.
My favorite thing about fall is my anniversary! We just celebrated 12 years of marriage two weeks ago.
ReplyDeletememoriesmama @ netonecom . net
Life, for me, slows down in the fall. Most of the canning and gardening is done, just a bit of puttering around in the greenhouse goes on. There is an abundance of food in the house to take us through the winter. I just love this time of year.
ReplyDeleteThe book sounds fascinating and I should very much like the opportunity to read it. For me, I enjoy this time of the year because it is a time to relax by the fire during the cooler evenings with a good book, watch the trees turn through their glorious colours with the promise of re-wakening in just a few months, the smell of wood-smoke and not feeling guilty about indulging my new found passion for patchwork/quilting.
ReplyDeleteI have mentioned your giveaway on my blog and look forward to reading your blog from the beginning. I do so admire the Amish and their way of life.
ReplyDeleteI've just discovered your blog - fascinating and intriguing. I'll be taking the time to go back and read from the beginning. Would love to read this give-away book, and will look for it in the library if I don't win LOL! Blessings, Peg

ReplyDeleteI hope I am in time for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteIn India Fall i s so different from North America.
But the things I love about the fall is the blooming of new flowers, after the scorhing summmer and monsoon floods its time for new growth.
Winter vegetables atart appearing in the market, new tastes, warm hot dishes wo warm the body an d soul. And I enjoy the pleasant sunshine.
