JACK FROST'S DECORATING CREW (DOES A BEER AWAIT?)

Saturday, 8:00 AM. 44 degrees, wind WNW, light. The sky is mostly overcast and there is .25” of raIn in the gage, but the barometer predicts sunshine. The Nor’easter is over!
The fall cavalcade of color continues in the mild, wet weather. Whole hillsides and valleys are now decorated in fall finery.
Lamp posts have been decorated with corn stalks. Jack frost and his volunteers are all decorating for next week's Applefest.
