Fall is here! Three cheers for Fall! Who does not love the season of autumn where everything smells like pumpkin spice and pumpkin beer? Well maybe people who don’t experience the changing of the seasons (sorry friends), but over here in Toronto we sure do get Autumn and I love everything about it.
