We have officially entered October and fall colors are starting to emerge in the trees. You may have seen them already. If not, you can actively find them with this guide from the Department of Natural Resources. Autumn is a favorite season to many for the beautiful, ever-changing scenery of various greens, reds, yellows, and oranges.

 

Let’s make our own fall color report with music. For today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs that mention fall colors do you want to hear?
