Have you ever been apple picking?
No, I live in the city, but I picked cherries while on vacation in the American Midwest [does that count too?]
Is there a dish you make/eat only during this time of the year?
Dutch Pea Soup [for recipe see last week]
Will you attend a ‘tail gate’ party this season?
No. [Had to Google it first]
When do you turn on the heat?
This apartment is so well insulated that I don’t turn up the heat in winter, and in summer it’s too hot indoors.
How many sweaters do you own?
I own four, only use them when it’s chilly.
Are you fond of Nouveau Beaujolais wine?
That’s a hype, that wine is too young to have a full body.
Do you get excited about Hallowe’en?
No. Not at all.
How about Thanksgiving?
Neither, I live abroad so why should I celebrate an American holiday.
Is there an activity you do only in the autumn?
I try to paint on canvas.
Have you ever burned leaves?
Only as a naughty experience at school eons ago, it involved a Bunsen burner.
Do you own any ‘scarecrow’ decorations?
Only when I look in the mirror! 
Do you plant bulbs?
No, I have a rock garden on my balcony.
Your fondest autumn memory?
Walking through a National Park, eating pancakes at the end of the long trek, I was very young then.
I am guessing that the expression “tailgate” would be lost on Europeans – not to mention Hallowe’en and Thanksgiving.
Pingback: Friday meme: Welcome, Fall. « Can’t Get There From Here
Great meme! I did a WordPress search and found your site. What a gorgeous Fall pic! Man, do I miss the leaves changing from back home. Anyway, for today’s meme post over at Can’t Get There, I borrowed your meme. Have a great weekend!

when you come visit, we will go to a tailgate party – it captures the urtext of the midwest autumn experience.
When I see the question, “When do you turn on the heat?” I think of the many old buildings I have worked in where there actually is a “switch over” and you can no longer use the A/C. In my case, I turn it on whenever I am cold, whether it’s June 10th or October 10th
Tailgating is always fun! You’ll have to show us your canvas masterpieces!
