Fall word search

Twelve autumn words are buried in this grid the way a squirrel buries acorns: methodically, and in places you will swear you already checked.

What fell into this grid

Leaves, pumpkin, acorn, harvest, scarecrow, sweater, rake, maple, cider, squirrel, orange and breeze. SCARECROW is the nine letter anchor; find its double C. .. actually its C and W, and the rest unrolls. RAKE is four common letters and will hide until the very end, which is exactly what rakes do in real sheds.

Season it to taste

ORANGE here is the colour, but nobody will stop a solver who insists it is the fruit. A good table variation: everyone names one more fall word that is NOT in the grid, then checks the grid anyway. Half the fun of a word search is the words that almost appear.
