About ten days ago, I noticed that the leaves on all the trees in our community had changed. They were beautiful, with bright red, burnt-orange, and spectacular yellow-gold colors. Then, one day last week, we had a cold snap that was heralded by strong winds blowing through the area. It didn't take much of that wind to start picking the leaves from those trees.

Now the leaves are falling in earnest. They crunch under foot as I walk through the town. There is no doubt that fall has arrived in our area. I suspect, based on historical precedent, that we will have our first snowfall in about 3 weeks. And then it is all downhill from there! ;-)

I do love watching the changing seasons. Each brings its own distinct type of beauty, and I marvel at the world in which we live. I trust you will have time (or make time) to enjoy the seasons in your corner of the world.

I hope you enjoy the tips in this week's newsletter.
