If you are finding it tough to leave warm weather behind these ideas will have you falling in love with fall
Get outdoors and take a gander
Fall is a great time to take long walks and do some hiking. The days of humidity and sweat beading off your brow are now behind you. Plan a hike, or a walk through your state or city park. Many parks offer guided maps and trails taking you to some of the most notable areas where beauty abound. Most insects, ticks and other pesky bugs have chosen other warmer climates to inhabit so take advantage and enjoy a no sweat, no bug bite trail walk.
