Fall

If you love the lake life, but don't want to spend an arm and a leg on the pastime, a Missouri place was just named the most affordable lakeside town in America.

Ah, pumpkin pie. One of the most sought-after pies during fall in Illinois. Why though? There's actually a reason we love it so much!

The leaf colors in Missouri and Illinois aren't as brilliant as normal this year.

Peak fall colors are about to burst open all over Illinois but you don't know where to go to get outside to enjoy it. Try any one of these 5 stunning spots.

It's hard to believe that we're only about a month away from the beginning of leaves changing color as Fall gets closer. There are maps and dates that will give you an idea when it will begin and peak in each different part of Illinois.

If you ask me now, I'd say that Fall is my favorite season. If you ask me in late winter, I'd probably say Spring. I do love when the Fall colors begin to get good in Missouri and I've found some helpful maps to figure out when that will be.

I normally accept whatever the weather is without complaining too much, but in this case I really hope Farmer's Almanac prediction for what Fall will be like in Missouri is wrong. Otherwise, we'll all need to stock up on water for multiple reasons.

Accuweather predicts an early frost for Missouri for 2023. In fact we may even see our first frost in September and snow flurries in October.

Bear with me. 'Cos it was PDG, you guys. That stands for Pretty Darn Good, if you didn't know.

Pumpkins, hayrides, animals, food, bounce pad, playgrounds....and a PUMPKIN CANNON. I'm dying to know what that is.
