Autumn Marigolds

Yesterday I came across a list of things that exemplify autumn. things like sweaters, falling leaves, crisp apples, and pumpkins. The only thing I felt was absent from the list were the flowers that also bloom prolifically in the fall.

To me, all the russet tones marigolds are an important part of autumn, as are the dense bushes of mums and asters.

So I think my list for fall would look something like this:

sweaters
walks in the woods
the fireplace
falling leaves
crisp dry air
pumpkins
crisp apples
scarves
hot stews and soups
roasted root vegetables
and
mums & marigolds
...what would you add to your list?
