Fall is the season best known for its bounty. After all, it hosts the holiday we most associate with food. Before Thanksgiving, though, there are plenty more fall feasts! Autumn is harvest season with offerings of crisp apples and hearty veggies, tailgating season where portable grills turn out parking lot delicacies, and – don’t forget – fair season packed with deep-fried deliciousness and caramel-covered, sugar-dusted delights. ...read more

My grandmother was a teacher, and she used the word primer, pronounced “primmer,” a lot. There were math primers to get the basics of operations, English primers to learn the foundations of grammar and punctuation, and, of course, spelling primers to garner all those rhymes for spelling success. So, why shouldn’t there be a “Fall Foliage Primer” to learn what you need to know about autumn’s color show? Well, now there is! ...read more

The lucky few who have seen the Earth from a different perspective – astronauts - all echo the same viewpoint upon their return. Yuri Gagarin, a Russian cosmonaut and the first human to go to space, commented, “Orbiting Earth in the spaceship, I saw how beautiful our planet is. People, let us preserve and increase this beauty, not destroy it.”

Drum roll, please. The Pantone Color Institute has rolled out the Fall/Winter color palette or 2022-2023, and it is filled with colorful contradictions. Typically, colors in the fall and winter tend to be a little muted and more rooted in the happenings of nature’s calendar. Think browns, greens, and muted tones of red and orange. This year, you’ll see those colors mixed in with bright Rose Violet and the pastel tints of Nosegay and Waterspout. ...read more
