The days get shorter and cooler during this transition between summer and winter seasons. Generally, you can experience autumn during the months of late September, October, November, and early December. Enjoy Autumn in Port Blandford as the summer comes to an end. Its a time for relaxing with a fresh cup of coffee while overlooking the wonderfully coloured hillside as children are back to school and the Thanksgiving season begins. Its as though life's pace slows down a little at this time of year. Its the season of fresh harvested crops and cool crisp days. Don't forget to experience the Halloween season as many residents of Port Blandford prepare for whimsical and spooky Halloween fun. Experience the wonder of a Bonfire on a crisp November evening. Experience the beauty and brilliance of Port Blandford in Autumn.
Come and see the rolling hillsides ablaze with colours ranging from green to red to orange to yellow -- the brilliance of fall foliage. In the crisp blue skies see the "V" formation as the Canada Geese migrate South. See the spooky Halloween decorations and the freshly harvested crops for sale at roadside markets.
Come and feel the crisp Autumn air and the crunch of frost covered ground and fallen leaves underfoot on a cool Autumn morning.
Come and smell the coniferous trees, the animal scents during mating season, and fresh bales of hay. Smell the preparation of jams and jellies from fresh picked berries in many Port Blandford kitchens.
Come and taste the home-made bread with fresh berry jam or jelly. Taste the fresh crops of an Autumn harvest or a warm apple pie as the apples ripen early in the Autumn season.
