Around the Village October 21 - 27, 2016

It went from summer to winter in a matter of hours this week. We still had annual flowers blooming, tomatoes on the vine in some gardens, perennials like hydrangeas, roses, and sedums continuing their Autumn display, and not all the leaves down from trees yet. Then we got our first snow on Thursday, October 27th, of a couple of inches. What a wake-up call that we are, indeed, at the end of October. Take a look.
