We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

Who Knew? -
  • Whether or not your deciduous tree leaves turn brilliant colors at summer’s end, their complex mechanism to drop those leaves in autumn is truly amazing. But early cold snaps or extra-long warm spells can throw off a tree’s rhythm and prevent leaf drop. Why didn’t my tree lose its leaves this year? Find out more about this on the Leaves Not Leaving page of Who Knew?.
