We love Tennessee at all times of the year, but it’s during the fall that we’re left completely in awe. From the cotton fields of West Tennessee to the mountains in the east, this is an autumn wonderland that’s sure to leave you breathless.
- West Tennessee cotton is blooming.

- Apple cider is everywhere.

- That morning commute gets REAL chilly.
ARR4 / Flickr It’s not uncommon to start scraping your car or seeing that huff of breath early in the morning.
- Your neighborhood starts showing out.
tambra / Flickr Competition, anyone?
- Your weekend plans? Are ruled by haunted houses.
Premnath / Flickr The number of haunted houses in Tennessee is crazy. You should plan on visiting one this weekend - if you dare.
- Everyone is front porch sittin'.
appaloosa / Flickr The end of summer means the beginning of fall, obviously, but also the end of a summertime era. You’ll see lots of kids and parents with mugs of coffee or cocoa, taking in the gorgeous fall colors while they can.
- All the pumpkin patches open.

- Football fans (aka, everyone) get real loud.
Tim Bounds / Flickr The season in which mild Tennessee folk become rabid. It’s all good, come back in late February if you can’t take the heat.
- Pumpkin baked goods are EVERYWHERE.

- The leaves have officially caught fire.
