Fall in Huron/Perth brings its own kind of charm. The fields are busy with harvest, roadside stands overflow with the last of the season’s produce, and the cooler air makes it a little easier to slow down and appreciate the view. It’s a time for comfort, reflection, and maybe even making a few plans for what’s next.
