autumn

It's a term we have been hearing more and more of every Autumn..." Leaf Peeping" it's simply going out and looking at the beautiful colors of fall. Checking out the trees and leaves and all the colors nature proves as we head into Autumn and get ready for winter.

When we think of autumn usually if you mention food people will respond "pumpkin" or "pumpkin spice" but there is another "fall" food that's perfect for this time of year.

Ok, Ocean County it is confession time! What am I talking about? I'm talking "pumpkin spice" it seems the "fall" flavor is out before Labor Day!

So let's have an open discussion about Halloween. For many, we are now beginning to see Halloween items pop up on shelves at stores around Ocean County, but is it too soon?

So we are now in August and this past weekend we had cool temps and less humidity....almost "fall" like. It was a weekend that kinda whispered "hey autumn isn't that far away now". Our first chilly weekend this summer. So with this weather, it got me thinking about why I am ready for autumn.

Autumn is a beautiful time of year, except for all the leaves we have to rake now, but before the leaves came down they gave us such a colorful show here in New Jersey.

In my opinion this has to be the most fantastic thing to happen to residents as we begin getting rid of the autumn leaves. Yes it’s a beautiful time of year with the colors of fall, but as those leaves begin to fall it becomes quite a clean-up ...

It is that time of year when the colors of Autumn begin to appear here in the Garden State, but what are the best roads to travel in New Jersey to see the leaves changing? Or as some call it “leaf peeping”.

One thing we have no shortage of here in Ocean County is squirrels! Every neighborhood here in Ocean County has a huge amount of our furry tree friends. For some maybe not "friends" as they raid our bird feeders during the summer and now they are attacking our pumpkins here in fall.

There are many spooktacular things about Halloween but here are eight things you may not have known about the holiday we celebrate every October 31.
