33And the LORD said to Moses, 34“Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘On the fifteenth day of the seventh month the Feast of Tabernacles to the LORD begins, and it continues for seven days. 35On the first day there shall be a sacred assembly. You must not do any regular work. 36For seven days you are to present an offering made by fire to the LORD. On the eighth day you are to hold a sacred assembly and present an offering made by fire to the LORD. It is a solemn assembly; you must not do any regular work.
“The Feast of Tabernacles, also known as the Feast of Booths and Sukkot, is the seventh and last feast that the Lord commanded Israel to observe and one of the three feasts that Jews were to observe each year by going to “appear before the Lord your God in the place which He shall choose” (Deuteronomy 16:16).”
“The feast begins five days after the Day of Atonement and at the time the fall harvest had just been completed.”

When we were children our parents would sometimes take us to a cider mill after the apple harvest for cider and donuts. There would be pumpkins that were just harvested and fall was in the air.
I can envision the Feast of Tabernacles during this time when the fall harvest was completed and fall was in the air!
Blessings, David
