It’s time for cider mills and donuts once again.  This is my favorite time of year, especially when the weather has been like it has lately.  We continue to have summer-like temperatures and low humidity.  Co […]

As we drove home from Indian River yesterday, we ran into some pretty impressive storm clouds.  We received a severe thunderstorm watch on the way, but didn’t see any of that.  I think that the southern portions o […]
