At DiSanto Propane, we love the month of October, which is quite possibly the most beautiful month here in upstate New York. The leaves are changing colors, and they fall and crunch underneath your feet as you are walking around. Such colorful scenery is absolutely magnificent, but that’s not all there is to love about fall.
National Seafood Month
Would you like to celebrate your love of seafood? Now is the time to indulge in fish, oysters, mussels, scallops, and shrimp. In fact, you could even grill your favorite fish on your propane grill for a truly tasty treat!
Football Season
Are you more of a college football fan or a NFL fan? Now is the time to go all out in your fantasy football league and hopefully win a bet or two. Even if you don’t have time for that, you can relax by watching a game on your TV while your propane fireplace is burning.
If you prefer to attend your local football games, you probably enjoy tailgating. Make sure to bring your propane camping stove to cook up some hot dogs and hamburgers to fuel you as you cheer on your team.
The World Series
If you are a MLB fan, October is extra-exciting because the World Series begin. This year’s series will be hard to follow after the Chicago Cubs narrowly beat the Cleveland Indians in an intense final game. Finally beating the Curse of the Billy Goat, this team ended a World Series losing streak that lasted over a hundred years. Who will win this year? Only time will tell.
Fall Beer
Beer lovers rejoice! As the seasons change, new beers are available for your enjoyment at your local brewery. Summer beers include a high volume of pale ales and beers with citrus notes, but fall beers include fresh hop beers, darker ales, and even pumpkin-flavored beers. In the midst of hops season, you’ll drink beers with the freshest hops available, which often bring tears of joy to beer lovers’ eyes.
Hard Cider
If beer is not your thing or you want to mix things up, you could indulge in the delicious fall ciders available. Fall harvests result in a plethora of different ciders, both sweet and dry. Perfect for people who cannot tolerate gluten, cider is delicious.
Pumpkin Spice Everything
Are you one of those scarf-clad women in leggings who crave pumpkin spice lattes? Take advantage of this month, when pumpkin spice flavored everything is abundant. You can find pumpkin flavoring in everything from cream cheese to candy to cookies and so much more, but only for a limited amount of time. Take advantage of these traits while you can!
Break Out the Layers
Summer is so hot that you wear as little clothing as possible in order to stay cool. In October, your wardrobe massively expands as you can finally break out your boots, scarves, leggings, and sweaters. Dressing in layers is quite cozy as the temperatures begin to drop.
Pumpkin Patches
One of the most fun activities for families is visiting the local pumpkin patch, which could include a variety of different games and rides as well. You may be able to jump into the back of a truck and enjoy a hayride or simply stroll through the pumpkin patch, picking out your favorites.
Pumpkin Carving
There’s something so delightfully playful about carving faces into pumpkins, transforming them into jack-o-lanterns. If you are a carving novice, you could keep the carvings basic, but if you are a talented whittler, you could go all out.
Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
One of the biggest perks about carving pumpkins is that you get to roast all those seeds, which are truly savory treats. Pumpkin seeds have just the right amount of saltiness and crunch to make the perfect snack in the middle of the day. Keep this in mind so that you don’t throw your seeds away as you carve your pumpkins.
Haunted Houses
As we enter the Halloween month, you can truly revel in the spirit all month long. If you enjoy scaring the Bejesus out of yourself, you could visit your local haunted house for a hair-raising experience. At night, you may even find a haunted corn maze that is truly nightmare-worthy.
Dressing Up in Costumes
Finally, you can wear your outlandish costume as you go out and about and no one will shame you for it? Whether you want to wear a spooky costume or a silly costume, now is the time to go all out! Just try to avoid dressing up as a sexy slice of pizza.
Kids in Costumes
Reall, few things are as adorable as kids in Halloween costumes. Creatively gifted and crafty moms have been waiting all year to transform their toddler into a strawberry or something equally as cute.
Pets in Costumes
For those of you without kids, you may enjoy dressing your pets up in costumes. You can finally transform your dachshund into a hot dog or a jockey, and people will love you for it. Some cats are open for costumes as well, but proceed with utmost caution to avoid severely injuring yourself.
