You are concerned about safety, but we can still celebrate fall, y’all!
Summer has come to an end. The air is crisper, and the colorful flowers are being replaced with colorful leaves.
Although it’s not what we hoped for, COVID-19 doesn’t have to stop you from savoring autumn safely. Below are some ways you can easily, and inexpensively, celebrate fall this year including Halloween and Thanksgiving.

“Autumn leaves don’t fall, they fly. They take their time and wander on this their only chance to soar.” ~Delia Owens, Where the Crawdads Sing
The best way to de-stress and enjoy this season during this uncertain time is by getting outside. Activities that allow for safe distancing put you at lower risk.
- Go apple and pumpkin/gourd picking. Businesses are offering tickets online to avoid overcrowding.
- Go leaf-peeping in your neighborhood. Many people consider it to be the most incredible time of the year, and it’s free.
- Take a hike. Bring a mask, avoid other hikers, and don’t take unnecessary risks. Hike locally to prevent spreading the virus to other communities.
