As much as we might want this year to be over already, it’s hard to say goodbye to summer. But then fall comes along and mollifies us with spectacular foliage — and pumpkins. If you’re like one Woodstock family, that brings a good excuse to decorate the heck out of your front stoop. For an urban farmer in Winooski, this is flower-drying and bulb-planting time. Any season — for 35 years — has presented opportunities for Burlington firm Duncan Wisniewski Architecture to design buildings with a social mission. All these stories are within. And so is a convo with an energy auditor, who helps homeowners lower their bills while turning up the heat.

Stay cozy, and stay safe.
