IN THE NEWS
Of Area Interest

"Public's help needed in identifying suspect in Kirkland sex assault" from WKTV.

3:30 p.m. add-on; Thanks to Patty Ford and a phone call she made to authorities - the "assault" took place in an area behind the Lutheran Homes. Many Marshall Trail walkers had been asking. Just knowing that the M.T. is not the trail in the news is not, however, reason for ANYone who chooses to walk a trail alone, ANYwhere, to presume that they are completely safe.

From Glen Carroll: "... a picture of my mom ('Pat') doing the 'Diva Dash' in Massachusetts. Going on 81, but still chasing kids overcargo nets!" (Thanks, Glen!)

From Gil Condon: "I like your fall shots. Our Ginkgo tree is still green. The lane into the old school was a great shot too ... the fence is gone, impossible! Memories have a fence there, forever. Respectfully, gil condon. "

Hey Gil! Look what I saw yesterday!

The fence is coming back!

Other Things to See.

On West Main Street.

On Berrill Avenue, I interrupted Faith's mowing - but only for a minute!

West Bacon Street.

Stafford Avenue.

Berrill Avenue.

The most elaborate Hallowe'en scene! Stop and peek over this fence on Putnam Street.

The leaves on the Red Oak trees that are planted here and there along Sanger Avenue have turned their wonderful coppery-bronzy Fall colors. I couldn't get a good picture of them in place, so brought a few home - perhaps to draw, this weekend.

Out in the Country

The second - or perhaps third - cutting, behind Edie Eastman's place in Dicksville.

(Noontime add-on: Yes! Edie confirmed that it was the third cutting!)
