    1. I’m going to miss the nice weather to do my hiking, but am looking forward to reading more and escaping with some of my favorite streaming shows.

  1. I don’t watch much tv, but my kids are loving the behind-the-scenes show on Disney+ all about Animal Kingdom. And there is another one on Disney+ about building super cars that my Husband loves.

    1. I’ve heard great things about Schitt’s Creek and it’s won a lot of awards. Got a lot of winter coming up soon to try your streaming show recommendations.
