The autumn is an amazing time, we jump and play on wormer days and laugh and joke inside.
The pumpkin pie and the Halloween vibes. The thanksgiving feast we all get to eat, with the ones we hold dear. The leaves fall down on the roof, we rake and break them up too.
Hide and seek and spooky stories, fog, and warm colors.
The chilly weather and the hot cocoa and the turkeys waddle around all night.
Spiders and bats Halloween decorations, the candy the frights, and anything spooky.
Ghosts and ghouls run around town without anyone having a clue!
Crows and vampires, zombies and princesses anything you’d like to see.
Costumes and party music and all, this is the month to see.
The autumn leaves fall on my head as they do to all, the trees lose their leaves helping..the spooky mood.

When I see the leaves I think of fall and trees. I love the fall well mostly it's because my birthday is in the fall. But anyways I just love the beautiful colors during the fall time.
I love the fall time because it's the coziest time of year all the brown leaves and orange, just all the beautiful colors.
I feel like fall is the most enjoyable time of year, it's the time when the weather changes it can be cold or hot.
It becomes colder and the leaves start falling off and then the leaves change colors.
Fall time can be relaxing and calming, get to sit next to the fire, and wear long sleeves, hoodies.
Autumn is the most beautiful season because it can get nice and crisp and spooky (Halloween)

Autumn is one of the more calm months. It’s also cool to see the leaves change from green to orange, red, and yellow. Though I do not like being too cold, I like having a warm drink like hot chocolate. I also like Autumn because it’s pretty interesting to see the animals getting prepared for winter. Autumn also has very beautiful scenery in certain places.

On a fall evening a falling, dropping, the leaf was falling into my open hand when I and my Dad are to rake them. I started to drop it into my neat pile of leaves but then. Crash! My sister jumped into it and leaves and they were every wear and my sister paid dearly for it. I kept the leaf before it died, the leaf was crimson, orange, and golden, and a bit brown but it was so pretty, too bad it is dead.

Watch them as the change as they fall off the tree floating softly to the ground
Watch them as they take the rainbow and use the colors like red gold brown
Watch as they hit the ground and when you make a pile of them how they make a picture of colors
Watch them as they fly in the air when you jump in
Watch as they die and the color fades away
Watch as they shrivel up and fade away
As they disappear like they were never there
Watch them in the grow back as big green leaves
Watch them next fall
Watch them change their color again

One thing I really love about fall is how you can sit there and watch the pleasing leaves change colors. Also how the breeze whisper through the air and the cold air. How we sit by the cozy fireplace drinking hot cocoa with our pj’s and a fluffy blanket. Also at night how you lay in your bed and hear the wind rustling through the leaves and with the smell of cinnamon in your nose. And when Halloween comes around how we stuff our faces with candy while we hang up our spooky decorations outside our house. We pass candy to the little kids in our neighborhood dressed like little cute bumblebees, ladybugs, and tiny firemen.

Leaves red Orange-yellow Brown Green (etc). Leaves everywhere all around.
The trees bare with little leaves. A sign that of the autumn breeze. My family and I make great big leave piles and jump in them and all is fun in autumn. Life is great with the wind everywhere and the fall Autumn leaves all messed up in my hair. The pumpkins come out and scarecrows come in, and at lowes and home depot there are the big inflatable skeletons! My trampoline and playset are all covered in leaves while we say goodbye to the birds and the bees. Let's all say “CYA!” To the summer and spring and let say “hello again” to the autumn-winter breeze.

Leaves make us think of warm air.
Leaves turning many different kinds of colors
such as red, orange, yellow, and brown.
Leaves getting crispy and crunchy.
I remember when I was younger I used to make
pills of leaves and jumping in them.
Fall. I a great season to feel relax.
To lay back on the couch and here the wood in
the fireplace crackle.
Fall. I place where the air gets warm
and chilly, where you can wear
all your warm sweaters
and bring out all those
comfy blankets.

When I think of Autumn leaves I think of stirring fresh hot soup. Or sitting by the fire on a dreary day. Or crunching the leaves under my feet on the way to the bus stop. But my favorite thing to remember when I think of the autumn leaves is working with my sister to rake the leaves in the backyard. Then jumping in them and making a mess together.
Emmalynne Parker
When the leaves start to fall me and my family I like to go on bike rides, walks, and play outside.
We also like to watch football mainly the Clemson tigers.
One thing that we love doing the most is going to North Carolina and finding snow.
And I also love doing I getting hot chocolate booms.
Oh and one more thing me and my family love to go to the waffle house.

The leaves are so beautiful. They come in shapes and sizes and colors. There was this leaf that hall falls one, my brother. It was fall so the leave had all kinds of pretty fall colors. Fall colors are just so pretty.
Sara Thompkins
One thing is that always makes me excited about autumn is that I get to see most of my family members and spend time with them. We always meet at my grandparent's house and eat lunch or dinner together. My second favorite thing is all the different colors. I love the crunch of the leaves when you step out of the car. My mom and I usually drink hot cocoa and eat treats, while watching movies.

n the past me and my little sister raked leaves into one huge pile. I remember us raking up all the leaves in the backyard, which took about an hour but it was really fun! Anyways we got all the leaves in a pile and just jumped in with a loud crunching noise. It was fun and by the time my mother came out to check on us, we were buried in the leaves giggling and having a blast. When we went inside after it got too cold we had leaves left in our hair so my mother had to pick them out one by one. I and my sister got hot cocoa and watched frosty the snowman, that day was a really fun day.

"The Autumn this year brought awesome changes to me which have given me memories of my past especially last year my cousins were visiting from Texas. Our Grandma was having us do some work around her new house she just bought. My brother came to the front yard with me, it's not a very busy street so we were trusted to be out there, I asked him if he could ask grandma if I could have help because I wanted some help I think they sent him out to check on me, so him and my cousin Josh came out, they gave us a box that said ‘fragile’ on it. When we were done we put the leaves near the road (as instructed to do) and we were beating up the box like “FRAGILE HUH?” and then my cousin just stomped on it real hard it was really fun! And then we jumped in them.

When I think of Autumn I think of freshly baked cookies just coming out of the oven and about to be set in the fridge to cool. Because Autumn is the perfect season just coming out of Summer and starting to enter into Winter. When I was younger my older siblings and I would go out and see who could find the coolest or strangest looking leaves on our street. Fall is my favorite season because I love the color of the leaves; red, orange, and yellow; I love running around, feeling the cool wind on the back of my neck and blowing through my hair. I also love when the leaves have just fallen and they are crunchy and crisp, and I love running around hearing the beautiful crunching sound beneath my feet.
Paige Folger
What I love about the fall is the leaves and when you get to drink hot cocoa when you light the first fire of the year. But my favorite part of autumn is when my whole family comes together. We go outside to do yard work and rake the color leaves that has fallen from the trees. When we are done we go inside and dad makes a fire and mom makes us all hot cocoa and we watch movies. I love it when I get off the bus and stepping on the leaves and hearing them the church. When my family goes to the mountains and looking out the window and watching the leaves coloring like bronze, yellow, red, orange and a little bit of green. I also love riding my bike and feeling the cold wind on my face, And the day when everyone thinks it going to snow but it ends up not snowing and we all knew it was not. That's all the things that I love about fall
Mason Young
About a year ago, I was at my mom’s friend’s house. I had been asked to rake the leaves, and I would get 10 dollars when I was done. This house had a pretty big front yard with quite a few trees, so I knew it was going to take at least half an hour. When I was about halfway is done with raking the yard, my foot sunk into the ground. I must’ve stepped in a hole, so tried to pull my foot out. I was stuck. I had to pull my foot out of my shoe to get out. If I go there to rake leaves this year, I have to make sure not to step in that hole again.
Julianna Johnson
The crisp air was cool and blowing faintly through my hair like me, my sister, and my dad all worked hard across the creek. I had gone in a few times felt the icy water circling my ankles. Soon we were called back to the cabin, however. We sat next to the roaring flames in the fireplace and laughed as we looked back on fond memories, shared between everyone. Once dry, we retreated to the upper floor with four more family members and some snacks. We played for hours, bending the rules of the games we played. Hours of fun as outlaws or werewolves in various board games. What a good week at the Cabin.

"The Autumn this year brought awesome changes to me when I went apple picking in NC with my good friend. The trees in the background were a beautiful mix of green, yellow, orange, and red. We took many pictures and gathered piles and piles of apples. We were all in awe at the trees because we never see mountains here in SC! The car ride was a total of about 4 hours, we had fun, tried to sleep in the car, and got Chick-fil-a. The warm comfort of my blanket and the warm chicken nuggets made me want to fall asleep! Overall I loved this trip and will have to do it again sometime.

I love it when the leaves of green, turn to the warm colors of Autumn. The nice cool breeze blowing on me is a wonderful feeling. I never rake the leaves on the ground, in my yard, no one does. The leaves deserve to lay where they want, so we can hear the crunching sounds of them when we step on them. I remember in elementary school, during recess, I would scoop some gold, red, orange, bronze leaves, and I would pile them on the end of the slide. Then I’d slide down, and all the leaves would fly up, and it was a wonderful experience.

"The Autumn this year brought awesome changes to me which……..
If the cold was dangerous in New Orleans and the sun was a dream. My autumn was more like a metal beam. Long hard autumn, one that was very tough, An autumn I can't forget, it was sharp as an elephant's tusks. For the time I spent with family, and the time I spent with glee. My autumn came falling down like the leaves on a tree. Day by day it got colder, as the sun got farther. I knew the winter was coming and soon my departure.winter passed and spring came too the leaves were growing back, summer came and then it rained because summer was a springs slack. I waved goodbye to my family as I got in the car, and thought about the colorful leaves that came and left. They changed like me and my family to so much more from a friend to a brother and that's a memory I kept.

"The Autumn this year brought awesome changes to me which…….. The autumn that brought change was this year at the beginning of the football season. We had to practice every day. It was new. It was fun as well. And we won our the first two games
Myla Grivois
"The Autumn this year brought awesome changes to me which. It is bright. a lot of leaves.red orange yellow colors. also, the leaves are falling in a pile
Sarah Hutson
"The Autumn this year brought awesome changes to me which have brought me great memories. This Fall I saw leaves changing colors and it reminds me how people change also. As people grow we change not necessarily in a bad way we can grow beautifully inside and out like leaves. When leaves leave the tree they are on their own going places by themselves. This fall has brought good memories of being with my friends and family. Together we made memories I don't think we will ever forget no matter how old or how much we change we will always have the memories that fall brought us.
Matthew Hopkins
In the fall every year I and my sister and mom and dad would go to my grandma's house and we would rake up the leaves. Every year go to her house to rake them up a lot so I and my family was used to waking up early for this. I liked jumping in the pile of leaves and I loved the sound of the leaves crunching. I also liked the cool breeze outside and it was making my neck hair have the chills. After all that yard work and having fun we would go eat at a restaurant and then we would just sit and talk for hours and hours.

Autumn change me because it’s a time were thanksgiving comes in you take a little time from school and you go see family. I like going to see family because they tell me what it was like when I was a little baby and what I did when I was a little baby and they bully me about how big my head was XD. But it’s a really fun time where we all get a chance to relax and be worry-free from everything.

My part one "The Autumn this year brought awesome changes to me which the fall is were cold right now. It has never been this cold in Columbia. Also, I have to take out my dog in the COLD!!!!! I hate it but when I go out the grass was silky and wet. That is how my fall fells.
Peyton Buckland
"The Autumn this year brought awesome changes to me which made new memories. I used to rake leaves for money. I would have fun with my friends in the nice autumn wind. I would play football and basketball. Fall is my favorite season it the perfect temperature and I have a lot of fun.
Andrea Raimerez
"The Autumn this year brought awesome changes to me which is the fact that I can wear sweaters. Sweaters are comfortable and they keep me warm. They make me feel safe when so many challenging things can happen in school and at home. They feel warm and when I am alone, I can always find comfort in them.

"The Autumn this year brought awesome changes to me which...
It made me wanna get a new jacket for the cold so I can go outside more often and not worry about being cold. And so I love staying home with my cats and helping my grandma rake the leaves before winter. The fall makes me wanna draw new things like the red fox or a wolf.
Joseph Irthum
In fall I like to go outside and hang out with the neighbors and feel the cold breeze on my face because of its south Carolina and it’s always hot. Also, I like to going and jump in the leaves, well when I was younger I liked it. But other than that my family doesn't do much, we act like it's another day.
Edward Klutz
The Autumn this year brought awesome changes to me which... It makes me feel good. The reason I like it is that I enjoy going outside and feeling the fresh air. Also, I really love going to the dog park at Saluda Shoals during the Fall weather, because it makes me want to actually stay there. I also, enjoy decorating the house for Thanksgiving, because it is fun, and that is the only time of year that I get to do that. The last thing that I like about the Fall is that I can spend time with my family on Thanksgiving and have good food on that special day of the year.
Fall certainly is the best!!!”

"The Autumn this year brought awesome changes to me which...
It made me happy cause it wasn't too hot anymore and the breeze felt good. Although it’s very cold in the Fall and school starts again, it is my favorite season. One day I found a picture of my dad, sister, and I lay down in a pile of leaves. It was from several years ago and we looked very different. One year we got a dog. She was very fluffy and white. When we got her, her name was Layla, but we already knew someone who had a dog with that name. So, we changed her name to Kayla. Every year Kayla and I go on walks in the fall before it gets too cold. We usually walk in the fall because in the summer the ground is to hot for Kayla’s paws. Even when I try making shoes for her, it never ends very well.
Reyna Cruger
"The Autumn this year brought awesome changes to me which…made me excited because it is no longer hot outside even though I did like swimming every day it was very hot, I like the weather between summer and winter which is fall, also my birthday is in the fall. Last year on the day before thanksgiving my nana got a dog I rode with her we had to drive 2 and a half hours when we got there and my nana saw the puppy she started crying and long before we got the puppy my nana wanted to get a dog and name it molly so the that is what we named her. She is now over a year old and very cute

Brady Murphy
In the fall, I always help my neighbors pick up there leaves. I love the sound of the leaf when you step on it. when I was little, I and my brother would watch my dad doing all the work. So we pitched in to help. After we would jump in the leaves. We never got anything in return, except for a fun time, in the end, jumping them. When I got older I would rake the leaves and also help neighbors with there leaves. This all helped because the community would feel and be in a better mood and because of my obsession with the beautiful colored leaves.
Cheryl Rasheed
The autumn this year brought awesome changes to me which gave me so many changes.. because once when I was younger I had caught a leaf in one of my hands and it was as big as a frog (which was nearby mind you). I noticed that my hand was that size as well. So I noticed about the leaf that it was small like me, yet it was beautiful as well. I know now even the smallest leaf or animal or person in any way, shape or form has a side that is beautiful.
Alexa Alsup
The fall is a great time of year. In the fall I always go outside and look at the leaves and the shapes and what they look like. Sometimes I find heart shape ones and give them to my mom. Whenever my mom takes me and my sister somewhere she always talks about the different fall crisp colors. It’s cool wondering how weather can affect the colors of the leaves. Since my dad travels he sometimes sees snow witch is very rare in Irmo. My dogs always get scared of the crunchy leaves outside. I like the fall.
Christian Davis
"The Autumn this year brought awesome changes to me which….….. It is awesome because I love the cold wind rushing me while I rake leaves. Sometimes I get paid, but not most. I don't really like raking leaves but my mom makes me anyway. We usually go to North Carolina to visit family for Thanksgiving, but sometimes we get to go to Michigan for Thanksgiving and so we get snow for thanksgiving. But the fun times in the leaves won't beat winter with the presents.
Eva Grace Caley
"The Autumn this year brought awesome changes to me which…….. Have made me smile. Every Saturday I get a cup of hot cocoa and sit on my back porch, I sit there and watch my dog run around and play in the leaves he loves to make the leaves crunch. One day as I decided to go play with my dog, I had a pink vest on and a black shirt and blue jeans I played outside with my dog for hours we jumped on the leaves and crunched the leaves. We had so much fun. My family came outside and my siblings played with my dog and my mom and dad sat on the porch I went to sit with them because I was tired and we talked about how good the weather was and how much we loved that day.

There are beautiful red, orange, and brown colored leaves outside. The beautiful leaves make it looks prettier outside. The ground fill of colorful leaves and piles of leaves. Me and My little sister would go outside and jump in a big pile of leaves. The leaves felt nice and cold on our skin.
Aiden Mathieu
"The Autumn this year brought awesome changes to me which was cool I remember when I was little I had to do this project it was very interesting. We had to use the crayon to make an image of the leaf by rubbing on it. We also had to find two or three different types of shapes and colors of leaves. It was kinda hard since it was cold most of the time. But I got it done and got a good grade.”
Mariah Murphy
"The Autumn this year brought awesome changes to me which...
Autumn this year is very exciting so far. I’ve started middle school with kids older than me. I’ve made new friends. One other thing it has shown me is that in middle school is that they don’t treat you like your in elementary school. Which tells me I’m getting older as time progresses.
Elliot “Pearl” Owens
When I used to live in my old house, I had friends that I would play with, and laugh with. When Autumn would come around, no one asked me to, but I would rake the leaves just because I thought that rakes were cool. One time when I was raking the leaves, my friend from across the street came over to play, so we ran and jumped and rebuilt a pile of leaves, over and over again. The jumping was always the funniest part though. Once when we were jumping in the leaves, we buried each other in the pile, and hid in the lovely pile of Fall. If only I could do that again, see the leaves fall on our yard, and have friends to play in them with. Let the leaves fall in Fall.
