Happy October!

The weather so far in October has been oh-so-capricious, sunny and warm one day and rainy and cold the next. Columbus Day weekend was its own mixed bag, with pockets of sunshine and beach walking weather mixed in with blowy, cold rain.

The garbage barrels are officially retired for the season from the beaches and dock, and the speed bumps are slated to go into storage this week. The signs are decorated for the fall season, and the signs of life around the neighborhood are slowing down despite the still-blooming flowers that dot the landscape.

Old Mill Point is taking a deep breath, and readying itself for the coming winter.
