WELCOME LETTER Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall. — F. Scott Fitzgerald Fall is by far my favorite time of the year. It is the season for all of our senses. We see a colorful palette of reds, oranges, yellows and browns all around us. The taste of pumpkin spice finds its way into our coffees, breads, cookies—even beers. We hear the sound of leaves crunching under our feet, and we smell wood burning in nearby fire pits as we wrap up in our favorite soft blanket. It’s the season when we squeeze all the outdoor time we can into our days. We go to football games, and we invite family and friends over for an evening under the stars. So, with company in mind, this issue shows a way to make your home more inviting by creating a welcoming pathway leading to the front of your home on page 44. And if it’s time for a more stylish focal point in your back yard, turn to page 56 for new fire pit ideas. Plus, get inspired with home decor items celebrating the colors of fall on page 14. There’s a lot of activity in the fall for home and garden enthusiasts. If you are up for a tour you should check out our event listings on page 70. As for me this fall, I’ll be spending as many evenings and weekends as possible making s’mores and memories with my grandchildren. Thanks for reading.
