As you probably know, 秋 is fall or autumn. This is my favorite season, and I'm sure you can relate!
I'm from the Northeastern part of Connecticut, in the US. Like many places in Japan, we also have four distinct seasons. I've made a little list of fun fall activities. Do you enjoy them too?
1. デザートを焼く。I really enjoy baking. The majority of things I bake are breads, like
pumpkin bread, or cakes.
2.セーターの天気. I wonder if this sounds strange?
In English, 'sweater weather' is a common expression.
It just means that time of year when the temperature drops and people start wearing sweaters.
Personally, I love sweaters, so this is a non-issue for me.
3. ものづくり。I hope this makes sense.
I am using it in the "arts and crafts" sense of making
things yourself. Perhaps 手つくり？This is the time to get the fabric scraps out and sew a
masterpiece! The best birthday gift I got this year was an old, secondhand tin of buttons which
I have already used to fix a coat.
4. 秋の天気。I love fall, especially when it's a bit chilly, but still comfortable enough to walk
outside. The sky and the clouds are especially expressive this time of year.
5. 暖炉のにおい。
While talking a walk outside, the smell of wood-burning stoves is often there. Many people where
I'm from still have woodstoves or fireplaces, and they begin to use them in the fall.
6. はパの色を見る。 I am always amazed at the sheer variety of colors to be found amongst
leaves in autumn, orange, gold, vibrant red, occasional bright green, crunchy brown, and even
some maple that have hints of pink in them.
7. 今－日本の秋の物語。かき！
I love persimmons. I had never really seen persimmons or had the chance to eat them until I
came to Japan. They look the part of an autumn fruit, with their coppery to deep orange color.
They are sweet and distinctive. After a bit of time, I associated them with autumn in Japan.
8. 栗
Chestnuts is one of those things I didn't really associate with fall, even though we have tons of
them that fall from the trees and an old song about "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire."
Well, until I came to Japan, I'd never even had a roasted chestnut! As a desse
awesome and I highly recommend them!
9. 怖い映画
I enjoy scary films anytime of the year. However: I don't like violence or blood. So, perhaps
I can amend this to atmospheric? A little scary? Fall is this perfect time to watch a film like this,
indoors!
10. フワフワ毛布と寝ます！
My collection of fluffy blankets is giving me hope right now. Things are always better with a fuzzy
blanket around!
I hope you enjoyed my little list! Please comment about your favorite fall things!
