A Mainer’s Fall To-Do List
Autumn happens to be our favorite season of the year, for a few reasons. Those few days of Summer's "hot" weather are now behind us, the blistering cold of Winter isn't yet here, and being lucky enough to live in Maine means we get to see Mother Nature's foliage art show explode around us.
