As Anne of Green Gables so simply put it, “I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.” The month of October brings stunning fall colors, cozy bonfires, spooky events, and other fall festivities.
This is also an excellent time to prepare your home for the colder weather ahead, start thinking about any winter cabin getaways you want to book, and decorate your front porch for Halloween if you haven’t already!
