As Autumn arrives, what are you looking forward to?

I love Halloween, dressing up and seeing all the costumes. I love the weather—cold days and cozy drinks, spending time with family and loved ones.

What I’m looking forward to the most is some awesome sunsets. We’re finally going to get some clouds. The best view is the lookout at Seymour Center, it’s breathtaking and there’s bunnies!

Shopping for fresh autumn fruits and veggies and cooking with them.

The costumes, the time of year, and people decorating their houses. I used to have time to dress up for Halloween, but now you have to work a lot to make rent in this town.

The warm sweaters that I get to bring out — and how you can hear the raindrops in Bookshop’s Skylight Room when it rains.

I’m excited for holiday time, we get lots of families exploring Downtown and taking their time. Everybody’s super nice to talk to, talking about plants all day,
