Around the Neighborhood - Summit - 9 November 2025 - 2

Bentley Wilcox as Alien if you have room

Here we are at November already, WOW

I hope the Trick or Treaters had fun and stayed warm on Halloween; man oh man it was chilly and windy.

I had fun watching the CRCS Ryder Halloween Parade with granddaughter in it.

Thank you to Deb and Jim Soucia, of Lutheranville, for leading us through their 11th annual Halloween Extravaganza on Halloween night. There were numerous rooms, a barn and a cemetery to walk through and get scared in. On the way home we went by a tree down on Sawyer Hollow Rd. then the power went out at 10:30 during the howling winds. Then on Sunday there was some sleet and snow mixed in with the rain at times.

Thank you to Dawn Fyfe, our postmaster, for a wonderful spread of goodies at the post office on Halloween.

I just put out a window bird feeder, with sunflower seeds, for the winter. The chickadees found it within an hour; how do they do that. Next came the juncos, tufted titmouse and blue jay.

Another wonder of the world; why do game apps get loaded on a cell phone all by themselves?

Upcoming November birthdays: Eddie Oles, Emmett Bush and Richard Blodgett. Thank You to Patricia Oles for letting me know.

Peppercorn Tavern in Charlotteville is now open daily for lunch and Thursday thru Sunday breakfast.
