It’s Fall!!

Fall is one of my favorite seasons. The cool, crisp air is a welcomed changed from a hot, steamy summer, and nothing beats the occasional Indian Summer day. The leaves begin to change colors, its time to break out sweaters, light jackets, and boots, and farms prepare for visitors to pick pumpkins and apples. The northeast is well known for its beautiful fall foilage as you drive up upstate and along the coast. If you have an opprotunity, get in the car with family and/or friends take a drive, pick apples, and enjoy the beautiful fall weather before the winter winds begin to blow and snow begins to fall.
