October is here...now let's bring on the cooler, drier air! I was watching the weather on the evening news last night and learned that the first cold front doesn't usually make its way to our area until around mid-October...I don't know about any of you, but I am surly looking forward to a cool down. And I'm definitely ready to lose the rain; according to NOAA, this has been the wettest season on record for Florida! Oktoberfest begins tonight (10/5) and we have a BIG weekend planned there so we are praying for a dry one.
We had a great time at the JBF Sales last weekend and would like to welcome all of our new subscribers!
