Fall is in the air — or so I hear. I live in Florida, where “fall” isn’t much of a concept weather-wise. I have to create fall through decor and vibes, which I’ve gotten quite good at! A fall candle hates to see me coming. And hey, it WAS 75 degrees when I started my tennis match the other morning, and if that isn’t Central Florida fall I don’t know what is!!!!! Well in my ongoing efforts to trick myself into experiencing fall, I have concocted this fall-themed quiz for you. Take it while sipping something warm or eating a sweet fall treat.

I got Transitional Beanie!
It is definitely time to “swap in a little lightweight beanie to keep your gay noggin warm.”
Same. Sometimes I do beanie, but when I’m really stylin’ in cooler weather , I’m more beret rakishly tilted for that certain je ne c’est quois!
Stuck on the idea of smores as fall foooood !!!
Too Early Halloween Decorations! I take the spirit of this eg showing up on time to things – but I will never put these up before October! The creep of holidays ever forward (it’s even worse for Christmas) must come to an end!
Hallowe’en is ALWAYS in season, so there is no such thing as “early” Hallowe’en decorations. We don’t put them up “early;” we don’t take them down! So I guess you could say my answer was spot on.
In re: listing all possible answers from last week, you could aways make it part of the answer text, so people would have to take the quiz to see it. “This is your answer. Here’s some flavor text about it.
“Here’s the list of all possible answers.”
Then you could just cut and paste it to all answers. Of course, someone could wind up posting that in the comments.
oh this is a really good idea, thank you!
Corn Maze Where You Somehow Run Into an Ex
Ah haha, I can def see this happening. With no way out!
“Chaos follows you. Or do you follow chaos? Who’s to say. (Wait should I write this horror short story?)”
I’m looking forward to your first draft!
Highly Organized Apple Picking Trip in a Car Full Of Lesbians – spot on. I do in fact try to make this happen every year, with varying degrees of success. Memorably once it involved twelve people and two cars – suffice to say it did not go well
