autumn

They made an announcement the other day of a fall favorite that's making it's way back on the menu for the fall season!

If you thought that we were through with hot temperatures here in Deep East Texas for the year, think again.

It looks like this year - in true 2020 fashion - fall will start out a bit rough, at least as far as weather is concerned.

It's hard to fathom East Texas autumn nights in East Texas without the glow of those Friday night lights. For one South Texas district, this is a reality.

Why am I reminding you of this? Well, it's because this weekend is the weekend that we "Fall Back" one hour.

The days we think of as "summer" have passed and the kids are all back in school. However, not yet autumn. How to have fun in the meantime?

Tomorrow's the big day: The Return of the Great Pumpkin Spice Latte, Charlie Brown. Ah, but there's also a new option arriving at this pumpkin-spiced party.

As hard as it may be to believe and wrap our minds around, we are right around the corner from the fall months.

If you've been sort of ho-hum about all of the pumpkin spice offerings so far this fall and have yet to discover a favorite, wrap your mouth around any one of these top four items and your taste buds are going to light up. Pumpkin spice peanut butter? Yes!

There's one thing that you HAVE to do, in order to enjoy fall to the fullest extent.

This is the sweet spot in a pumpkin's life. Thousands of pumpkins that have grown up in a patch are off the vine now, and the clock is ticking before the dreaded shrivel and rot happens. So how long do we have? And there is at least one thing we can do to get pumpkins to last longer.

Texas has been staying warm and hasn't quite made up its mind to get into fall just yet. But cooler weather is on the way, and fall foliage will peak in October. There are three short trails that will help you make the most of it.
