I really wanted to show you, to prove you why autumn, why fall
whatever you prefer, I'm gonna explain the difference in some minutes, is my favorite season
I'm going to tell you how fall is here in the US, more specifically here in Iowa
because that's where I live

Ok so the first question is: What is the difference between fall and autumn?
Yeah I know that's a very common question and it's very simple!
Here in the US, people call this season, this beautiful season FALL
Ok but, why FALL?
Because that's when the leaves FALL
And in British English they call it autumn. But there's something really interesting regarding this season
before the 16th century, it was called HARVEST
Why harvest? Because that's the moment when they have to HARVEST all the vegetables, fruits
all the food that they have planted before because within a month it's going to be really really cold
it's going to snow so, they have to save all the food that they have planted before
Talking about snow, I'd like to mention about the weather because
in this time of the year the temperature tends to drop a lot
I mean, you can tell by my clothes, by my scarf
This morning for instance it was 3 degrees and if felt like it was 0.
Yes it is very beautiful indeed, I mean the colors and everything, it's breathtaking
but if you live in a house where's there a beautiful tree like that
you gotta save some extra time to clean everything
Yes, because the leaves are going to start falling and you know you're gonna need some equipment to clean it
There are 2 options that I would like to introduce you: there's the rack and also the blower
So that's the rack that I told you. Basically what we have to do is just, to pull like that
And this little thing is a blower. So how does this thing work, Erika?
And another interesting thing is that, every week there's a vacuum truck
This vacuum truck is from the city hall but it goes from street to street vacuuming all these leaves
that people just bring to the front. I did shot something for you!
Well, another reason why I love this season so much is related to the colors,
you can see so many different colors is it's really impressive
I mean, trees turn from green to yellow, red, purple, orange,,,,
Well another interesting thing about this time of the year is that products here are usually very seasonal
So whenever you go to a supermarket, to a store, you are going to start seeing much more
warmer products, or products related to the snow or things like this, than to the summer
And they love decorating their houses with pumpkins, things related to Halloween
and also things related to the fall. Well, and talking a little bit more about pumpkins
it's very common to find those very huge pumpkins here and first of all they just buy it and put it in front of their houses to decorate
And these are the pumpkins, I'm still decorating my house so these are the pumpkins
that I told you that I paid 2 dollars each
Next Friday is going to be the last one of the month
so usually people get together so they start carving the pumpkin
because they're gonna use it for Halloween, so they usually make some scary faces
and after Halloween they use the pumpkins to make some pies or really good desserts.
And another interesting thing is that Americans or more specific the Iowans - I don't know if it's generic
but Americans are very supersticious. They believe if you catch some leaves on the ground, it's gonna bring you some good luck
Every leaf means a lucky month next year. I don't know if it's true of not but who am I to contradic them
So I'm going to start getting my 12 leaves, four....
I think I'll just try to get 14 you know, in case a leaf is damaged or is not a lucky leaf
Ok guys?! So that's it for today, I really hope you have enjoyed this video
it was a very simple one but I believe it was a very beautiful and different as well
it's not every day that we come here to talk about fall and also some curiosities regarding the USA
