Fall is a very cold season. I would recommend boots everywhere. I would also recommend a light sweater, or a vest. Black, white, and silver are very popular. I would also recommend a solid color long sleeve, and a Beige beanie.

My second trick/tip is that you should wear black ankle boots. They are cute and trendy, and with knee-high socks, can be warm, and cute! Also, if you were to wear a Solid Yellow shirt, (I would recommend light yellow, but you can choose what shade) Black pants, and a small jacket.

My third and final tip/trick is gloves. Gloves are amazing! They provide warmth, and they are amazing! You should wear them with a scarf though, I would recommend all black, it makes you warmer, but it is all up to you! A bag/purse makes a BIG difference in the outfit. Also, it is very useful in everyday life.

It’s that time of year...Fall! People around the world use this season to spend time with family, bake amazing goods, celebrate holidays, enjoy the cooler air, and of course, embrace the warm tones of the leaves on trees. Now, the question is what makes the leaves change colors?

In the winter time, the leaves all fall off of the trees because the trees cannot support them. The air is cold and dry so the leaves wouldn't make it. Now, you may be thinking what does this have to do with the leaves changing colors? Well, it's just a little backstory which will help you understand why they change color.

So, let's get down to business, why do the leaves change color? Well, according to Ask A Biologist, the leaves change color due to a lack of chlorophyll production. Chlorophyll needs sunlight to be produced, and in the fall, it gets colder. Some plants, not all, will stop making chlorophyll because it is too much work. Other pigments will start to show up more since the chlorophyll production is cut, and that's why the leaves have these warm tones.

The different pigments that start to come through are called carotenoids and anthocyanins. Carotenoids is the other pigment along with chlorophyll in leaves which give the yellow and orange tones. Anthocyanins are the purples, pink, and reds. This pigment is only produced in fall, and helps protect the leaves from being eaten or burned by the sun.

Now, this is where winter comes into play. The reason the leaves change color before they fall off of the trees is because, again, chlorophyll takes a lot of energy to make. So, when the plants stop making chlorophyll before the leaves fall, the tree can reabsorb it to help the tree in the warmer months. If the leaves fell when they were green, a lot of chlorophyll would be wasted, and that’s just extra work for the tree. The tree basically recycles chlorophyll.

So, this is why the leaves change color during fall. The warm tones of the leaves make a beautiful view to look at. Moreover, having these red, yellow, and orange forests is what brings the fall atmosphere. That’s one of the reasons as to why so many people enjoy it. The Earth is an amazing thing.

During the September - November season there are lots of foods that are made form different companies. There’s the Starbucks selection from drinks to snacks, there are also many different snacks, drinks, and other products in stores countrywide. There are many videos and lists on fall foods and other fall things you should know about. Pumpkin is one of the most popular flavors during September and November. There are drinks like a pumpkin spice latte or a pumpkin hot chocolate. Here are some that are traditional and good for you with there benefits.

Sweet potatoes charge ahead of white potatoes in terms of fiber and vitamin A. Sweet potatoes also are an excellent source of potassium and vitamin C. Try them as a breakfast side dish, or serve them at any meal. Pumpkin is full of fiber and beta-carotene, which provides it vibrant orange color. Beta-carotene converts into vitamin A in the body, which is great for your skin and eyes. To balance pumpkin’s sweetness, try adding savory herbs, such as sage and curry.

There are lots of healthy options during the fall seasons but there are also some unhealthy options. We all know the classic pumpkin pie or caramel apples but here are some other fall sweets……

Salted Caramel Apple Hand Pies

An apple dessert is always a good choice when planning menus in the fall. These easy to assemble hand pies are delicious straight out of the oven, or you can transport them to game day events or outdoor picnics. Butter-Pecan Shortbread Cookies Recipe These buttery, salty-sweet slice-and-bake cookies will delight the butter-pecan lover in your life. For extra crunch, evenly coat both dough logs with turbinado sugar before slicing them into rounds. Crustless Pumpkin Pie Focus on the best part. We all love pumpkin pie but the crust always gets in the way!

Now here are some healthy ones….

Classic Stuffed Peppers

Veggies are better when stuffed with meat and cheese. Peppers are really good for you and adding meat makes it even better. Harvest Chicken Casserole Proof that comfort food doesn't have to be unhealthy. We all love sweet potato casserole, this is that but with chicken.

Like I said before there lots of options when it comes to fall food. You just have to pick the ones you love and try some new ones.

Time/Temperature Difference

~~The Owl Post~~

There is a time difference between Spring and Fall. I was always taught by “Spring forward an hour” and “Fall back an hour”.

Time changes during the seasons. On the second Sunday of March, at exactly 2:00 a.m., time will “spring forward” an hour. And on the first Sunday of November, you will reset your timers back to its original/standard time (“fall back”). According to History & info, the purpose of “Summer Time” is to make better use of our daylight” It is also to make darkness fall earlier.

As everyone can tell, the temperature is different in different seasons. This is due to the Earth’s invisible axis. When the Earth is rotating, you will receive different temperature patterns. But, people on the other side of the Earth will not receive the same condition you do. So if you are in Summer, others will be in Winter.

This is all due to the Earth, it’s axis, and it’s orbit. While the Earth is rotating, it is also orbiting the Sun. This is why we have seasons throughout the year. Since the Earth is rotating, we will be on the shaded side very soon. This means that we will be in a very cold state. But, the other side of the Earth will be in the Sun’s hottest rays. This is how the time and temperature changes.
