Fall

The fall season is one of the only things we Midwest dwellers can brag about. This may come as a surprise to you, but states like California and Florida never get to see the glorious change of seasons. When you look outside October through November, be sure to appreciate the beautiful leaf colors and dim lit afternoon skies.

One thing that is kind of depressing about this fall season for us is that it started so soon. All the leaves are already in their red color, which is the color that signifies, "I'm basically a second away from falling off this tree" Why is that so bad, you ask? Being honest, we can all admit that Illinois is a bland state and admitting that, we can also realize that the in-between transition period from winter to fall with cool weather, gray skies, and no leaves on trees is a time that is ultimately the most unattractive for Illinois.

So with all the leafs "leafing" us so early, it is logical to assume the ugly weeks are only a few days away! So enjoy the beautiful fall leaves while you can!
