I contributed the intro and edited this feature about autumn activities in Columbia, MO.

 

"Seasons are sneaky. They reveal themselves slowly and quietly, bit by bit, until all of a sudden and with a gasp, they surround us. Officially, fall arrives on Sept. 22, but unofficially it unfolds in pieces.

 

Autumn is here when the first sweatshirt provides warmth at a Friday night football game, and socks replace sandals; when a chill lingers at the window pane, and nights demand an extra blanket; when cheeks turn red, breath emerges like smoke and leaves fall in a thick blizzard of indescribable colors; when, suddenly, people have the pleasant surprise of finding themselves knee-deep somewhere between summer and snow.

 

Missouri autumns are gorgeous, but they go fast. So why not make the most of these few months? Vox has created the perfect seasonal guide. All you have to do is get out there and enjoy every minute."
