Quarantine-o-ween, anyone?
So, the fact that we're in the middle of a global pandemic means this isn't the year for time-honoured Fall actives like visiting a pumpkin patch, haunted house, or apple orchard. Don't despair, though – there are still plenty of fun ways to enjoy the season while keeping yourself and others safe by social distancing. If you're looking for a good way to get your Fall on, here are a few suggestions.
1. Light a Fall candle
2. Put on a pair of cozy socks
3. Paint your nails
4. Make your own pumpkin spice latte or a cup of tea
5. Make Kleenex ghosts
6. Make a Fall playlist
7. Put on a flannel or other Fall clothing
8. Support an independent creator and buy a Fall or Halloween themed product
9. Make or buy gingersnaps, or maple cookies
10. Watch a show or movie that takes place in the Fall
11. Paint or draw a Fall landscape
12. Go for a walk and look at the leaves
13. Decorate your house for Halloween

Now go out into the world (or, actually, don't – just stay home) and celebrate Autumn. Oh, and don't forget to comment the ways you're celebrating Autumn and Halloween even in quarantine.
