Autumn is tailor-made for getting out of the house to enjoy the great outdoors. With crisp temperatures perfect for strolls or sightseeing and breathtaking scenery awash in bright autumnal hues, autumn landscapes make for the ideal backdrop for weekend plans, including shopping excursions.

Labor Day is a bit of a misnomer. While it may seem like a day devoted to work, many workers in the United States and Canada don't work at all on Labor Day.

 

Labor Day is much more than the unofficial end to summer. Labor Day weekend tends to be the last big travel weekend before the holiday season, benefitting towns and businesses that cater to tourists. But while road trips and backyard barbecues are now staples of Labor Day, the origins of the holiday bear little resemblance to the celebrations of today.

Owning a dog is a big responsibility, but one that also provides a companion whose love is unconditional. Dog owners quickly learn their four-legged friends respond differently than humans to certain situations, including the changing weather.

 

Many dog owners may notice that their pets seem particularly attuned to the weather. Changing weather can affect canines much like it does people, but dogs may also be affected in ways their owners are not. 

National Hispanic Heritage Month highlights the historical and cultural contributions of Americans who trace their ancestry to Spain, Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean. The event began as a week-long recognition in 1968, but transformed into a month of celebration 20 years later.
