• Football

• Cooler weather( but not too cold)

• Pumpkin-flavored everything

• Haunted houses

• The end to mowing season( after we get all these dang leaves mulched up)

Really, the only thing we don ' t like about you is that you always tend to leave us right when we’ re starting to get comfortable.

Thankfully, though, we know you ' ll always come back to us, even if we have to wait a few months.

Our dearest Fall, you are so beautiful. From the assortment of colored leaves falling all over the place, to the scary, yet entertaining costumes everyone begins to wear this time of year— there ' s just something about you, and we can ' t seem to get enough.

We know you will soon have to go and let winter put a halt to everyone ' s fun, but while you ' re here, we’ re going to enjoy you for as long as we can.

But first, we must press publish on this magazine— as it offers some great reading material for AcreageLife ' s readers as they begin to prepare for the inevitable winter that ' s right around the corner.

Your biggest fan, AcreageLife

PS: We miss you already.
