I don't think we could've had a more beautiful early Fall day than today with our warming sun and southerly breezes. Nearly everyone I came into contact with was more than pleasant, with the exception of a stone-faced clerk in one of our County courthouse offices.

Thank goodness the wind reversed directions and was blowing from the south today which helped to warm our daytime temperatures.  Since I had an early appointment in Northwood, my drive up there was more pleasant due to it being sunny and dry.  Unfortunately, I'm still seeing a large number of corn fields that have yet to be picked, so hopefully o … continue reading
