Ever wonder why people – maybe not all people but certainly kids and lots of adults – like to wear wacky costumes and makeup for Halloween? The question was posed on Quora recently and here’s what people had to say about dressing up. (Oh, and we have plenty of ideas for easy, creative, and punny DIY costumes, too!)
Thick, rich, flavorful…when the temperatures outside drop, the heat quotient of our food choices tend to go up! Whether your favorite is con carne, green, white chicken, no beans, a variety of beans, piled on top of spaghetti or so spicy you need a fire hose to cool off, here are a few unusual, traditional and award-winning chili recipes for winter warm-ups!
Whether you stay indoors or head outside into the cool fall temperatures, we found plenty of things to do this fall that involved the whole family. From hiking in the nearby woodsy wonderland of Colorado’s foothills, to hosting a tailgate party, toasting s’mores and crafting everything from wreaths, to pumpkins and centerpieces.
These warm fall days and cool nights make it the perfect season for planting grass and trees, and replanting shrubs and flowers – giving them time to settle in and sink their roots before going dormant for the winter. Moderate temperatures make it easier on the gardener, too, without having to contend with blistering heat and scorching rays from the sun!
