Falling into a new season

There’s only one week left until fall officially kicks off next Saturday, Sept. 22. While there’s still some time before the weather actually cools down and the leaves begin to change color, I’m already sipping pumpkin spice lattes and planning my favorite fall activities.

• Fall fairs and festivals: There are so many to choose from – you can’t go wrong with art, rides and fair food.

• Apple picking: The North Georgia mountains offer the best orchards to visit – it’s something everyone should try at least once.

• Hiking: It’s the perfect time (and temperature) to spend a day trying out new trails.
