  • Light breeze, colored leaves

    With another month down, going into my favorite time of year, I can’t be more excited!!! Fall time in Florida may not be as beautiful or as noticeable being that our palm tree’s don’t change color! But I love the change in the weather. It gets cooler, the heat isn’t killer and it has my…
