What a fierce fall this has been. The foliage in my yard went straight from green to brown with the first snowfall, then blew away in the windstorm. I have visitors coming in mid-November and had hoped for warm weather, but I’m becoming less hopeful with each snowfall! At any rate, the forecast says we should be good for tonight’s and tomorrow’s Trick or Treating events.
CANCELED:
