Fall is my favorite season. I love the weather, the foliage, the sports. There is that tincture of sadness knowing that winter is around the corner, but once it comes, I remember that there are lots of wonderful things about that season, too.
But as we see a couple of months of the most pleasant conditions in the worldās best city, I encourage you to get out there and enjoy it as much as you can. At the risk of sounding like a hippie, an hour or two on a patio or beach or in a park can help to heal what ails you! I am grateful every day for the natural beauty of Chicagoland, and I have tried in recent years to make a point of finding new, beautiful places to check out. Get in touch if youād like some suggestions..
