Fall Leaves – Enjoy Them!


Know the phrase “take the time to smell the roses”? I invite you to take the time to enjoy the fall colors.

Take a look around. Our area is inundated with amazing colors right now. The trees are blazing with orange, yellow, and brown. The leaves are scattered all over the ground. It’s a beautiful time of year to take a walk, enjoy the crisp fall air, and breathe in the scenery before it is all covered in snow.

Walk around your development – or even better – take a stroll through one of our many local parks. Some parks in Bucks County that are great to visit include Lake Towhee in Langhorne, Silver Lake in Bristol Township, Tinicum in Erwinna, and Core Creek located south of Newtown.

All the parks mentioned above offer hiking trails – some also have picnic areas, off-lease dog parks, playgrounds, and boating and fishing areas.

Enjoy this beautiful weather – and get a breath of fresh air!
