We are in the midst of the autumn season, a time when leaves are changing color, sweater weather is approaching after the heat of summer, and there are endless festive things to do this time of the year. Autumn is a time to appreciate nature with its color variations. I am not looking forward to the cold weather that follows, but Fall is a great time of year.

The changing seasons we all enjoy in the midst of the mountains bring on a new look and feel of comfort. There is some extra work of raking leaves, but North Ogden City has made it easier with the vacuum truck that comes by and picks them up, thanks to our great Public Works Department. Despite the changing weather, there are opportunities to hike or just take a ride through the country. The kids are excited about Halloween and all its activities and treats.

It is important to maintain a balanced perspective with the season change. It is time to reflect that we as humans have no dominion over nature; we only participate in it. I hope you have an enjoyable Fall season with family and friends and recognize that we have a great place to live and raise our families.
