Fall is Finally Here

Say goodbye to heatwaves (hopefully) and hello to pretty leaves and cooler temps because Fall is here!
As your humble author, I feel obliged to let you all know one thing: I. Love. Fall. Fall is the season in which I thrive. I love getting to wear a nice sweater or a jacket, I love the smell in the air, and I love the foods and traditions that come along with this glorious time of year.
Let’s celebrate the end of the hottest part of the year and get excited for colored leaves, hot apple cider and what Fall looks like for different parts of the country.
