Autumn Changes

Question and Answer Overview

Autumn’s Seasonal Changes

There are many changes that take place in the Autumn season. Each year we watch leaves change color, and animals getting ready for winter. We put away our summer shorts and flip flops for jackets, long pants and boots as the weather turns colder and rainier. Wind blows the leaves from the trees and farmers harvest pumpkins, apples, and corn in preparation for winter.
