Autumn is my favorite time of year, with its brisk, cool, "football
season" weather and beautifully colored leaves. By this time of year, many
of us are tired of the summer's stifling heat, and we're ready for the
changes granted by autumn.
Did you know that you could capture the beauty of fall by preserving
some of its colorful leaves? Visit Preserve Colorful Beauty of Autumn
Leaves to learn why leaves develop color in the fall, and to learn three
different ways that you can treat the leaves in order to preserve their
color.
