The frost is on the pumpkin!

The WKTV forecast: "Another chilly start to the day, with many areas seeing an early morning frost with temperatures near 30 degrees. Sunshine will help those temperatures climb into the mid to upper 60s by the mid afternoon. A light wind tonight will keep temperatures in the mid 40s, despite the clear skies.

A beautiful stretch of weather is expected through the weekend and beyond. Temperatures will warm into upper 70s from Saturday through Monday! Plenty of sunshine over the next several days."

Our weather finally clears out starting today. Morning fog gives way to afternoon sunshine. Breezy weather builds in this afternoon with high temperatures in the lower 60s.

The wind dies down this evening and skies remain clear. Conditions are ideal for frost tonight. This would be our first widespread frost of the season. Low temperatures in the upper 20s to lower 30s.

Here & There



It's been gray and rainy for the past few days .........



........................... and many flocks of Canada Geese are flying from cornfields, where they'd spent an "overnight," quickly forming their "Vs," and turning to head south.



The only benefit from the rain, that I could see, was the sparkly shine it put on these wild apples!




There are new Fall decorations on Osborn Avenue ............



.................... and early Hallowe'en displays like this one, in Deansboro.
