After the bulk of the United States has been in the oven this past few months, we seem to have been removed from the oven and placed to cool on the marble countertop.
Fall has started to set itself into our laps as the temperatures drop to something more breathable, the days become shorter, & the colors of fall spread throughout the countryside. We are starting to use these colder temps to explore pumpkin patches, battle the onslaught of leaves, & ready for the spooky season.
One of the highlights of the autumnal season is the adventure of driving around checking out the fall colors. We watch Media sources share "fall color maps" and plan our trips. Unfortunately, many will compile their itinerary for the afternoon as a hit & run of driving by and focusing on the tree colors.
I urge you this evening, as I write this post, to consider adding to your fall color adventures more than just the intent of seeing tree colors. Now is a great time to start exploring the area and further destinations. Local farms are now getting into pumpkin & corn maze season, local main streets decorated for the spooky season, trick or treat (or trunk & treat as we see more commonly nowadays), & the hopes of attracting the pumpkin spice devoted.
There are always fun events going on in small communities to support local services & businesses themed around the season that will give you a chance to support charitable causes while finding, potentially, new favorite spots.
Even with it being the spooky season, there is no reason to be afraid to roll into new territory or visit forgotten/unexplored places while checking on the chlorophyll levels of the foliage. Don't forget to check out and judge the resident's Halloween decor skills.
Team Spooky or Team Inflatables? How do you weigh in? I tend to lean towards Team Spooky.
