Our first frost of the season last week nipped the summer vegetables. Green beans, summer squash and a few other things received the worst of it. The trees are beginning to show their autumn blush, too. We probably won’t have a colorful fall this year, though. With the hot, dry weather, the leaves are already curling up and dropping. It was a fantastic weekend weatherwise. Beautiful, cloudless blue skies and warm temperatures made it a pleasure to be outside. The Farmers Market was bustling with customers purchasing mums, pumpkins and gourds.
