Halloween 2011

Breaking News – Halloween Cancelled! I had my sign up and bowls of candy by the door, but no one came. Many people still don’t have power, hopefully they’ve found a warmer place to stay. As I drive through town I see green, yellow and orange leaves dancing in the sunlight and drifting down to…
