A More Subdued Season

According to those in the know, this year’s turning of leaves is late and less vibrant than usual. One expert rated Fall 2015 a 6.5 or 7.5 out of 10. Still, there are a million reasons to get outside this coming weekend. Once the leaves are gone, it’s bound to be a long, grey winter. Be sure to schedule in a local leaf-peeping drive or join a guided fall foliage tour. This breathtaking time of year will be over before you know it!
