Fall has arrived! The cooler tempera-tures are showing up and the changing colors will not be far behind. I love this time of year! The changing colors are an awesome site to behold. I think we are lucky to live an area where we can enjoy so much natural beauty. Sadly, this also means that the white stuff will be here soon too, yuck! I think the four seasons we get to experience and the differences inherent in each are just amazing. But, I think fall still remains my favor-ite! There is something about the fall smells, like apple pie and pumpkin spice that just makes you think of warm, cozy days at home! And since the weather is getting colder, the warm cozy days in front of the fire should be back very soon, if they are not already! While we gear up for another great fall season, I want to take a moment and thank all of you for making your warm, cozy homes here at The Village. Because part of what makes the Village great and homey IS all of you! So thank you for being a part of the Appledorn fami-ly! Now go out there and enjoy some of our beautiful fall!
