The Adventures of Julie and Bella 2025

🍂 The countdown is on — just one week until my favorite season officially begins! Fall makes its grand entrance next Monday, and I can hardly wait. Living in Upstate New York, I feel so lucky to experience the magic of autumn every year. The air turns crisp, the leaves burst into breathtaking shades of red, orange, and gold, and everything feels just a little more cozy. ✨

This year, I’m determined to fully embrace the season. I don’t just want to watch fall go by, I want to live it! So, I sat down and made myself a Fall Bucket List. The next couple of weekends are already busy, but once things settle, I’ll be ready to dive in and start checking things off. ✅

1. Visit Red Barrel Cider Mill 🍏


2. Go apple picking 🍎


3. Take a scenic drive to see all the fall foliage 🚗🍂
