  Outside My Window — Authority: 126

After a hot, humid, buggy summer the relief of falls arrival is tremendous, and its a wonderful time to get outside: finally cool enough for vigorous hikes, made more pleasurable by clear blue skies and brilliant foliage.

  Penelopedia: Nature and Garden in Northfield, MN — Authority: 405
  The yellow-in-autumn maple tree in front of our house finally started dropping its leaves a couple of days ago.
