Possum Manor is ready for Halloween. We have the lights; we have the pumpkins; we have the candy….Er, change that….we did have the candy. Practical Halloween tip: do not buy candy you like.
As soon as it stops raining I will go take some pictures of the millions of leaves…off the trees. The road is slippery, [...]
