Fall is in full swing, my friends and the weather is slowly coming along.

I wouldn't mind it dipping into the 60's like yesterday, but the festive spirit is definitely in the air and I am thoroughly enjoying it! Large pumpkins on beautifully decked out porches. Sprinkles of burnt orange and yellow leaves scattered about. PSL posts galore. And all the local, harvest oriented activities available that make family time so much fun this time of year.
