Remember last winter when you said you couldn’t wait for summer? Are you ready to take that back? I am. The season is beginning to wane, and I couldn’t be more excited to not break into a sweat every time I walk to my car. This weekend you’ll start to see nature’s magical signs of autumn. So peruse, enjoy, and soon you’ll be drinking and eating pumpkin flavored everything and looking at summer with your nose turned up in the air.
