While we’re on the topic of fall...

To us, watching the leaves turn from vibrant shades of green to tones of amber, scarlet, and rust is one of the most spectacular things in the world.

This year, The Farmers Almanac predicts that the city of Charleston + other areas in South Carolina will see peak fall foliage between Wed., Oct. 19 and Fri., Nov. 4.
