A Pleasant Start To Autumn

Posted: 09/25/2012

We are officially 4 days into fall and it sure has been feeling like it, with a morning chill and pleasant afternoons. Not only does it feel like fall but it will begin to look like it once the leaves reach their peak color which is usually around mid to late October.

The intensity of color each year depends on the amount of rainfall, warm days and cool nights. The fall foliage should be breathtaking this year. The best time for leave peeping is October and November but while you wait for the leaves to change, break out the cocoa, hot apple cider, boots and leather coats and let the nostalgia of autumn take over!
