Nature signals that it is about to go into hibernation.

However, autumn is also a time when many people are their busiest. Outside cleanup, kids heading back to school, the holidays fast approaching — which means family coming to visit, more shopping, cooking, and cleaning — makes the Autumn months a busy time indeed!
