Foliage season is blowing away as leaves litter the lawn. It was a good one — bright colors, blue skies and moderate temperatures. Everyone who rushed to the mountains and valleys to see fall’s splendor got their money’s worth. But, now, rain and wind are bringing it all down, and we’ll have to get out our rakes or leaf-blowers before the snow comes.
The biking season is winding down for many cyclists. There will still be people riding throughout October and November.
