The leaves have been so pretty this week haven't they? We went to Naples and thought of Ralph and Betty Everdyke when we went through the winery. I know they have gone on tours. It was really quite interesting. Then on the way home, we visited Cummings Nature Center, which is unbelievably beautiful this time of year. You didn't miss the fun Haunted Hayrides in Williamson. There are still two more weekends to go.

This historic Cobblestone House was once on the Underground Railroad. Schooners sailed into Maxwell Bay to trade wheat for the flour that was made at the gristmill that still stands on the property. The Inn sits on six acres of peace and tranquil beauty surrounded by a woodland wildlife preserve and apple orchards on the Shores of Lake Ontario.
Is our Indian Summer really over? Well today it felt like it could be on its way .It was nice we had some warm weather, the Liberian Family being sponsored by Mother of Sorrows Church need some time to get used to the temperature change. The family is doing well adjusting to their new life here in the United States with a lot of assistance from the Refugee Resettlement team who is helping them. Good job, team. Have a good week, and let me know if you have fun fall events you'd like to share. Enjoy the colors of the leaves.
