The dog days of summer are quickly coming to a (sweltering) end. Even though it currently feels like 105 degrees outside, the chilly fall season is right around the corner.
Officially, we welcome in Fall 2018 the moment the September Equinox happens at 9:54 PM on September 22nd.

Back-to-School

Fall Foliage
Nothing beats on a drive on a crisp fall morning to check out the amazing colors of the fall season! Leaves should be starting to turn in just a couple of weeks.

Football! Football! Football!

The only thing I don't enjoy is having to rake the huge pile of leaves during halftime. Oy.
