Greetings everyone. It was quite a rainy weekend last week. We had a combination of rain, a few sunny days, then back to rain. With it being fall along with the hurricane season, we can expect that. I had to turn my heat on a few chilly mornings. Only to turn it back to air in the afternoon. Soon, we will have a big frost and back to heat. It will stay.
I was admiring some of the great Halloween decorations up on 103 last weekend. The lights are very nice, and all the things you can make with a pumpkin besides delicious pies are unbelievable, but then are those little ghosts and goblins going to notice? They just want to trick or treat and be on their way.
