Fun - Autumn Activities for your Family
Autumn is Here! by
Robin Nobles Autumn is my favorite time of year, with its
brisk, cool, "football season" weather and beautifully
colored leaves. By this time of year, many of us are tired
of the summer's stifling heat, and we're ready for the changes
granted by autumn.
Did you know that you could capture
the beauty of fall by preserving some of its colorful leaves?
Visit Preserve Colorful Beauty of Autumn Leaves to learn
why leaves develop color in the fall, and to learn three
different ways that you can treat the leaves in order to
preserve their color.
