Summer may be wrapping up but time for fun outdoors is far from over. It’s time for football season, pumpkins, cozy sweaters, and fresh cider. The warm temperatures in southwest Virginia are likely to stretch through the end of September. As the chill picks up in October many of us simply reach for our favorite hoodies, sweaters, and scarves and continue to enjoy the last bit of time outdoors before winter sets in.

The addition of a fire pit to your outdoor space is a great opportunity to bring your family and friends together and add a little extra warmth on cool nights.
