Fall is here in Vermont, and wow it really is something special. The leaves are bursting with color, the air is crisp, and it feels like the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors before winter snow starts piling up.
For our seniors, fall can be a wonderful season to soak in a little beauty and fun. Here are a few simple, cozy ideas:
• Take a scenic drive: Vermont roads this time of year are like driving through a painting. Even a short ride around town can lift your spirits.
• Leaf peeping on foot: If walking is comfortable, a gentle stroll in the yard or around the block is a great way to enjoy the colors.
• Warm fall treats: Apple cider, pumpkin muffins, or a nice cup of tea make a chilly day feel extra special.
• Bring the outdoors inside: Collect a few pretty leaves or pinecones and make a simple fall decoration for the house.
• Story time: Fall has a way of stirring up memories. Share stories of autumn’s past with family, friends, or caregivers.
Fall is short in Vermont, but it’s such a beautiful season. Let’s take a little time to enjoy it together before the snowflakes fly!
