October
Fall is in full gear! It brings a crispness to the cool air, and the days are getting shorter.
October has plenty to show for itself as nature puts on a beautiful display of leaves transforming into vibrant fall colors.
Families are already making plans for their traditional visits to the pumpkin patch and apple orchard.
This is the perfect season for the aromas of baked goods and treats to fill the home.
Grab a serving of your favorite dessert with a warm cup of apple cider and enjoy the comfort of fall
