As the leaves change and the temperatures drop, it’s only natural that we see the new seasons arise from nature. Fall is just around the corner and is almost here! The days get shorter and the nights get longer. With every season we see many changes in nature, clothing styles, and sports! The changing of colors, cooler weather, scenery, sounds and smells are associated with fall and personally make it my favorite season.

One the most noticeable changes in the fall season are the change in the color of the leaves. The changing of leaves is beautiful and full of different colors. Beautiful reds, oranges, yellows, and even purples make the appearance of nature “pop”. Another change in nature during fall is the change in temperature. The weather becomes much cooler and we start to realize it’s time to pull out those sweaters and jackets! The cool autumn/fall air can be refreshing and new to some people, all part of the changing seasons!

Fall is a beautiful time of the year. We celebrate holidays with friends and family, we transition into our cooler weather attire, and prepare ourselves for even the next season, winter. A very popular holiday that occurs in the fall is Halloween. Picking pumpkins, carving pumpkins, hayrides, and dressing up as different characters is all part of fall and the Halloween season, something we most all look forward to. Fall is here!
