October Fall Foliage

One of my favorite things as a kid was taking flying leaps into big piles of freshly-raked fall leaves. Of course, my parents didn’t think this was funny and I had to rake them up again, but somehow, the “punishment” never seemed to deter further crimes.
Now that I’m older and far more sophisticated, I look forward to complementing my leaf pile escapades with some good, old fashioned leaf viewing. Every October, my family and friends like to pile into the cars, head out on the road, and drive up into the mountains. From so high up, you can see valleys, hills, and countryside painted with the most spectacular reds, oranges, and yellows that the world can offer.
If you live in one of the colder parts of the country, you’ll start to notice cooler temperatures, the smell of autumn in the air, and the beginnings of leaf change. Perhaps they’re not at their most spectacular yet, but they’re certainly on their way. Towns and cities all across the country will celebrate these changes with fall festivals, offering traditional games (bean bags, anyone?), warm apple cider, hay rides, and, of course, apple picking. AThere’s nothing like a fresh apple pie to soften the bite of a cool fall day.
In many ways, the beginning of autumn is one of the best times of year, and bright, beautiful leaves are a big part of why I love it so much. What’s your favorite part of fall?
