Here are five of the best plants to introduce to your garden this fall.

Chrysanthemums

They can thrive long after summer is over and will add the perfect fall colors outside your home.

Pansies

These heart-shaped annuals are an ideal way to re-energize your exterior practically any time of year.

Tulips

The best time to plant bulbs is six to eight weeks before the first frost of autumn.

Cold-Season Vegetables

Hearty vegetables like broccoli, brussels sprouts and beets can survive even after the frost arrives.

Trees and Shrubs

September and October are usually considered the best time of year to plant trees. Now is the time to add lush vegetation to your property.

Hygge (pronounced hoo-gah) is a Danish concept loosely translated as a warm feeling of happiness.

Heres how to implement the concept into your homes design.

Keep It Comfy

Your home should be personal and inviting rather than formal or trendy. Choose decor that you find calming.

Bare Necessities

Strip away all of the clutter and youll naturally feel more relaxed and at ease.

Sentimental Effects

Decorate with a few objects that have sentimental meaning to you. This will create a home that reflects your personality and lifestyle.

Neutral Colors

Shades of white, gray and beige contribute to a clean and soothing environment.

Warm Lights

Round out the setting and incorporate hygge with soft lighting.

Adults aged 65 and older are at higher risk for dangerous falls.

Fall-related injuries can make it difficult for people to get around or live on their own.

If youre at risk, talk openly with your doctor and review all the medicines you take, especially if you feel woozy.

Have your eyes checked annually, and update your eyeglasses if necessary.

Stay active! Consider exercises to improve balance and strength, such as Tai Chi.

Wear well-fitting shoes with good support.

Many falls happen at home, so remove items you can trip over.

Have grab bars installed and put non-slip mats in the bathroom.

To stay safe, use caution at all times.
