Fall in love with the season of autumn! It’s a pretty amazing time of year where you can’t help but swoon at all the colors changing! Ms. M finds herself quietly enjoying a lavender lemonade while watching the leaves gently shake from an old oak tree. She knows winter’s around the bend but can’t seem to simply enjoy the simplicity of “right now”. Now is always more valuable the than the future and less expensive than the past. You can’t change what you’ve spent your time & money on, but you can decide how to in the present. Presently there’s plenty to do in town that will be worth the time & money spent.
