We are finally in the fall season, and it is one of my favorite times of the year! Not only is there Gamecock football every Saturday, but fall also tends to bring with it delicious seasonal menus, exciting festivals across the Midlands and, oh? Did I mention football? LOL! Plus, in just 20 days Frank Martin’s and Dawn Staley’s b-ballers will be hitting the courts. What can I say? I love the excitement of the season!

 

And, of course, beautiful weather rolls in with the season. Folks in Columbia are finally able to endure the outdoors for more than five minutes, and there’s even an invigorating briskness in the air. I’m looking forward to spending some time in the North Carolina mountains to leaf peep and absorb and enjoy Mother Nature’s tranquility and magnificence. The Smoky Mountains are humbling and grounding, and serve to perfectly balance out the adrenaline that comes with my favorite college sports!

Happy Fall, Y’all!
