I’ve always been a four-season kind of guy. While some people may consider year-round 75 & sunny as perfect weather, such meteorological monotony is not for me. In the words of John Ruskin, “there is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.” With that said, perhaps my favorite of the seasons is fall. Something about the crisp reprieve from the heat of the summer, paired with golden light and leafy color show earns the season a special place in my heart. Here’s to thin mountain air, warm camp fires, whiskey, cider, and pipe smoke, harvest dinners, and hay rides. So breakout the flannel, fall is here.
