Fall is finally here!

I can say my favorite time of the year is finally here. Fall the weather is just the way I like it. Not to hot and not to cold. Beautiful colors in the foliage and good eating. Here are some things to do this fall. Don't forget to dress for the weather change. Remember it's cooler in the evenings.
Go on a fall foliage hike. Take pictures of all the beautiful leaves and make a scrap book. Change the air filter in your house. The season is changing which also means it’s time to clean out the air filter. Get rid of all that summer dust and start fresh. Tour colleges with your high school senior. It’s a good idea to check out some potential colleges to get a feel for which ones you are serious about applying to.

Visit Go See Campus, a site with all sorts of statistical and admissions information for colleges in the U.S. It also provides you with ways to set up a campus tour. Be a tourist in your own town. Have you seen everything in your town? What about that one shop you pass on the way to the library and always wondered about? Or that small local museum? It's so much to see and do because things change daily. Check it all out. Pick a large pumpkin. Get your children involved. They probably won’t pick the one you like or the one that looks good, but they will love being involved in the choosing. A great time to spend quality time with the family as well see how creative you can be. Cook a pumpkin. Use the pumpkin to make pumpkin bread or pie. And don’t forget to roast the pumpkin seeds. My favorite have a yard sale. Declutter and get rid of the stuff you haven’t used in a while. Clear the way for winter as you will be indoors more. Start thinking about Christmas gifts. If you start now, you will come up with better ideas and find great deals. Then when Christmas rolls around, you can actually enjoy watching all the last minute people run around frantically.

You have the Reason to Enjoy your Season.
