During the month of October, the weather starts to cool down and the leaves start to change, creating some beautiful sights. I love driving around and seeing the trees covered in bright red, orange, yellow and green. Not only does October bring pretty colors, it offers prime apple picking. I have said many times I think I could live off of fruit alone, and apples are one of my favorite fruits. I favor red apples, but also love a nice caramel apple in the fall. I always make time to take a trip out to a apple farm and go apple picking. But, above all, I most look forward to Halloween. Halloween is exactly a week after my birthday, so by default, it is one of my favorite holidays. When I was a kid, we always picked out pumpkins and carved them as a family. When I was too young to carve a pumpkin on my own, I enjoyed carving one with my mom or getting help from my older brother. But, my favorite thing about carving pumpkins is the wide variety of designs you can carve. Each year, I choose a new design, and try to increase the challenge each year. Not only is carving pumpkins fun, but it is a great opportunity to get the whole family together. Life can get crazy, especially as we begin preparing for the holidays. Take a moment to slow down and take the family to pick out pumpkins and carve them. When you are done, you will have creative designs to admire for a few weeks and memories you will hopefully remember forever. After you carve your pumpkins, take a picture and send it to The Leader as part of our Great Pumpkin Contest. There is no limit to what your pumpkin can be. The only restriction is that the pumpkin must reside in Lake Forest or Lake Bluff and must be decorated this year. The deadline for the photos is noon Tuesday, Nov. 1. The winner will receive a spooky surprise from a local retailer. Include your first and last name, as well as a phone number and address. Send entries to Editor Alyssa Groh at alyssa@lakeforestleader.com or mail them to The Lake Forest Leader, 60 Revere Drive, Suite 888, Northbrook, IL 60062.

Follow The Lake Forest Leader: @TheLFLeader go figure 19 Lake An intriguing number from this week’s edition Forest City Council discuss minimum age to purchase tobacco, some believe it should be at least 19 years old, Page 3 HOUSE From Page 9 “I’ve wanted to live in an Arts & Crafts style home since we lived in England in the ‘90s,” said Linda Estes, explaining what sparked her interest in that type of architecture. A neighbor to Four Winds, Applegate, was the only house on the tour not designed by Shaw and done in a Queen Anne style. However, it was built in 1911 on the same Cole-Swanton-Atteridge farmland as Four Winds, and the original owner was Hugh McBirney Johnston, a cousin of Hugh Johnston McBirney and his wife. Current owner Arthur Wood Jr. grew up in the house, and together with his wife Peggy, bought it after his father’s death in 2006. Wood credited his wife and the LFPF with doing most of the work for the tour. “The homeowners were very gracious,” said LFPF President Jim Opsitnik. “We staggered the starting points, so as not to overwhelm the docents and homeowners.” The house at 904 N. Green Bay Rd. is another of Shaw’s designs, but it’s an Italian villa that blends French style, rather than an Arts & Crafts design. The house had a unique feature that the entrance in front was originally on the right side rather than being centered. However, that changed when the second owner hired Shaw’s firm to build an addition onto the northeast side of it, which then balanced the home with a centered front entrance. Apparently unhappy with the request, Shaw assigned one of his associates, the young David Adler, to design the addition. The tour culminated with a reception at 776 N. Green Bay Rd., currently owned by Barbara and Karl Nagel. Shaw also designed the house, and it was built on the same Cole-Swanton-Atteridge farmland as the others on the tour. It was originally a gatehouse for the Brewster family’s Covin Tree country place built in 1907. The matching garage, a former stable, features a separate upstairs apartment. All of Shaw’s homes have a common link in that they were designed to give the occupants generous views of the landscapes that surrounded them, which connects them to Chicago’s Prairie School of Architecture. Opsitnik said at the end of the tour, “It’s gratifying to work with people who are energetic and passionate and do their jobs well.” The Lake Forest Leader Sound Off Policy Editorials and columns are the opinions of the author.
