Written by The Arbor Company | Nov 13, 2025 6:38:05 PM

There's something magical about fall. The air turns crisp, the leaves transform into a stunning palette of reds, oranges, and yellows, and everywhere you look, there are reminders of cozy traditions and cherished memories. At Arbor Terrace Norwood, autumn is a season our residents look forward to all year long—and for good reason.

We recently asked residents to share what they love most about fall, and their responses were as warm and colorful as the season itself.

 

For many of the residents, fall is all about the foliage. One resident fondly recalled their home upstate in New York, where the trees would turn brilliant shades of gold and crimson each autumn. The beauty of watching nature's transformation brings simple yet profound joy.

Of course, fall wouldn't be complete without a little pumpkin carving! Residents at Arbor Terrace Norwood love this hands-on activity, creating spooky faces and festive designs each year. Halloween also holds a special place in residents' hearts, from memorable costumes to handing out candy.

There's nothing quite like the taste of fresh apples in the fall. One resident has a beloved tradition of going to the farm to pick apples, then bringing them home to make applesauce and apple pie. These homemade touches connect us to simpler times and family traditions passed down through generations.

At Arbor Terrace Norwood, fall is more than just a season—it's an opportunity to celebrate traditions, create new memories, and connect with one another. Whether it's enjoying the beauty of nature, getting creative with pumpkins, or savoring homemade apple pie, residents remind us that the best moments are often the ones spent together.

We're grateful for the residents and their families, who bring so much warmth and joy to our community every day. Here's to a wonderful fall season filled with laughter, connection, and plenty of colorful leaves!
