Fall is my favorite time of the year. Since I live in the Northeastern United States, we also are graced with a wondrous display of foliage. People come from all over the world to view the foliage here in the fall.
Autumn also brings with it the cooler weather which I welcome after the heat of the summer. I’ve always been a cooler weather guy, so I’m happy when I need to throw a sweatshirt on when I head outside to split some firewood for my long-awaited fires in my fireplace.
And as the leaves turn and the air gets crisp, it’s the perfect time to cozy up your desk space. Incorporating some seasonal decor can make your workspace feel warm and inviting, helping you stay inspired and productive.
