Well, it definitely feels like fall is right around the corner!
The days are getting just a bit shorter, the nights are a little cooler and the morning air is crisp and fresh and the top of our maple tree has some leaves changing colors!
Summertime treats like ice cream and lemonade are replaced with pumpkins, apples and cider doughnuts.
Bike rides, hikes and apple picking are perfect ways to embrace the fall season!
As much as we'll miss visits to the beach and warm summer nights, the crisp morning air is refreshing and makes for the perfect temp to take Abby (our dog) for her morning walk!
As is true for all of the seasons, there are plenty of fun books to read, crafts to do and treats to enjoy that celebrate fall!
