You’ll find nature offers a special treat when weather conditions are just right – a beautiful frozen waterfall!
6. BUNDLE UP AROUND THE FIRE PIT
After a full day of seasonal activities or on a sunny afternoon, why not relax with family and friends on your backyard deck. Sitting around a fire pit, sipping hot apple cider, roasting marshmallows – all are great ways to enjoy the season from the comfort of your own home. It can be the perfect end to a busy day or the entirety of your day’s activity!
