Snack-etizer?
By A Few Of My Favorite Things With Katina Holland

Fall is just around the corner and the days will soon be cooling down. Fingers crossed because it’s supposed to happen next week! YAY! People walking by the windows of our downtown office will go from shorts and tank tops to long sleeves and jeans. Football has already become predominant on the television and conversations around town as our favorite teams compete. I mowed last Sunday and was like when did all of these leaves fall? Nature is already beginning the change as well. The colors are changing as the bright greens and blues of summer switch over to the deeper reds, yellows and oranges of autumn. The smells will become earthy as plants go into hibernation for the cold of winter, not that we always see much of that around here. I am so ready for the cooler weather.
