Get out and enjoy the fall weather!
- Richmond
One of the greatest things about living in this part of the country is the beautiful fall scenery. The brightly colored leaves, the slight chill in the air, the fields full of corn ready to be harvested all make for some of the most picturesque scenery anywhere.
