The turning leaves are a sure sign of summer finally gone. Time to cover up the boats, get leaves raked, clean up the yard in preparation of winter. Foliage is peaking in these parts, but it won’t last long. Rain and wind in the last week or so have knocked off leaves that otherwise might still be making us go “ooh” and “aah.” Alas, it’s time to say goodbye to summer, although the bitter cold of winter is still bit away. This weekend is also the end of Daylight Saving Time, when we set clocks back one hour to go back to Eastern Standard Time. The clocks will go back one hour at 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, 11/1, right after the kiddos finish up trick-or-treating.
