Autumn is a wonderful season marked by changing colors, bonfires, harvest, boots and flannel. The air begins to feel crisp in preparation for the cold winter months. The ground is in a constant state of crunch due to the beautifully colored leaves that have fallen effortlessly from the trees all around. Flowers begin to hide and animals prepare for hibernation. There are many things to enjoy during the fall that really help the season feel like all that it’s worth! We’ve taken a poll around our community and have come up with some ideas of things to do to make the most of this season.
