Fall

Skiing is one of those pastimes people love during a weekend to get away from it all. But it can also be pretty dangerous, no matter how seasoned you may be on the slopes.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.— As the heat of summer fades into the cool weather of fall, trees and shrubs around the Show-Me State transform from leaves of green to a fall-foliage color palette of golds, reds, oranges, and purples. The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) encourages people to discover nature through fall-color excursions.

Lets just start off by saying that the LEAVES are brilliant. The cool weather... so I can wear my BASIC leggings and boots The pumpkin flavored EVERYTHING Homemade pies. That is all. FOOTBALL FOOTBALL FOOTBALL Candles...Particularly country leaves and maple delight Sweaters...

Just in case you didn't know, boyfriendo and I moved from a small apartment to an older two/maybe three bedroom house earlier this year.

Leaves are everywhere! It's definitely fall in Sedalia, and like it or not, we should probably start raking those yards and bagging the leaves up. But what do you do with the leaves after they're bagged up? Not to worry, if you leave in the city of Sedalia, the Sanitation Department will come pick them up for you.

As you may know, the Sedalia Parks and Recreation do a lot here for our local kids. They offer all sorts of programs, activities and education opportunities for all sorts of interests. And it's not just for school age kids, either.  It's for the youngest of kids to the most mature adults.

According to the calendar, it is officially fall, and that means the 80 and 90 degree temperatures are behind us. Many people say that summer and fall are their favorite seasons of the year. Fall is a favorite in my household since Diana and I got married in October and our son, Gabriel, was born in the fall.

The kids were very busy this summer if they took advantage of all the programs and festivities that the Sedalia Parks and Recreation set up.  And now, in the fall, with them being back in school - they still wanna have fun.

With Labor Day just over a week away, it's time to face the facts-- summer is coming to an end way too soon. But even though we won't be able to wipe out on Slip n' Slides too much longer, there are still tons of awesome things we can look foward to in the Fall, and apparently dogs are so ready for it.

After a two-year break, the Black Crowes are once again soaring. In March, the band broke its hiatus with the Lay Down With Number 13 tour, which included sold-out dates in the U.K., a few festival gigs and a spot opening for a couple of Bruce Springsteen's stadium concerts.
