I had a hard time catching her under the porch, but I figured she was just scared and would settle in. Boy is she misnamed.
Students are back in school and it will not be long before the leaves start to turn and the air gets a bit more crisp and cool. It may not have seemed likely just a few weeks ago, but these are sure signs fall is just around the corner.
Thank you from the family and friends of Colleen LeClair Nickolas.
