If you’ve been paying attention to my social media feeds, you may have noticed the to-die-for shades that have been popping up in photos. What you may not know, however, is:

Others will point to the bountiful harvest; sweet apples, crunchy pears and Pumpkin Spice Lattes. (Oops, do those count as harvest?)
