Of course, it is Autumn! Personally, I enjoy Autumn greatly as the temperature hovers between the 50′s and 60′s where I live. Autumn, also known as Fall, is a cooling period of the year when the leaves fall from the tree, football season picks up and clam bakes are perfect social gatherings.

To bring in the new season, we have compiled a list of interesting Autumn facts for you to enjoy!
