Competition: Song of a Fading Autumn

As winter’s cold grasp approaches, Autumn’s song still sings in the air. Write about your character(s) enjoying the last few weeks of Autumn, whether they celebrate with a feast of thanksgiving, spend time alone in solace with a hot drink, or go on an outing with friends and family at a bonfire on the beach or by the lake, telling stories. Perhaps they go hunting (beast or person, whatever their fancy). Whatever it is, how does your character spend the last days of Autumn?
